Without the innovative, community-led support of this project, families cannot access basic medical treatment for treatable medical conditions and suffer needlessly with chronic health problems.
This project provides: transportation to those in need of treatment in urban hospitals; manufacturing and distribution of alternative medicines made with indigenous plants; administration of a communal health insurance program; training of mobile community health workers and health care advocates a stipend to cover the costs for a traveling doctor; volunteer visits to the chronically ill.
In addition to the above programs, the project advocates for health rights of the communities of Jiquilisco. Natural remedies are promoted and research is conducted into major health problems in the region so that strategies can be developed to respond to them.
