Disease among the children of rural Nicaragua is almost overwhelming. Of the families we visit, nearly every one has a severely sick child. Illnesses are complicated by malnutrition, which robs the body of immunities.

We help fund healthcare clinics where local doctors provide medical treatment as well as needed medicines to thousands who would otherwise never have access to medical care. Full-time health directors also administer a parasite-control program and chlorine distribution to treat drinking water.
