Dear Friends,
We extend our deepest gratitude for your continued belief in our project, "Empower Health of 50 Nicaraguan Women". While we have not received new donations directly on this platform in recent months, your past support remains the foundation that allows our clinic in La Salvia to operate and serve local women every single day.
Celebrating 10 Years of Health & Help
Ten years ago, in September 2016, Health & Help was officially registered in the US! It all started with one simple, unwavering belief: that no one should die from curable or preventable diseases simply because they don't have access to medical care.
Looking back, it is inspiring to see how far we’ve come. Throughout all these years, your steady, continuous support has been the beating heart of our work. You kept pharmacy shelves stocked, doctors ready, and clinic doors open.
Because you stood by us, here is what we’ve built together over the last decade (2016–2026):
43,120 patients cared for — including 8,475 children who received critical medicine and treatment.
3 permanent clinics established in Central America’s most remote regions—often the only place over 35,000 people can get care and medication, regardless of their ability to pay.
100+ medical brigades & community health sessions brought directly to isolated villages.
638+ international volunteers deployed to our clinics or contributing remotely.
A truly global community — with supporters and volunteers connecting from every continent except Antarctica!
Ongoing Impact in La Salvia
Our Nicaraguan clinic on the slopes of the Cosigüina volcano continues its vital work. Located in a region isolated by difficult roads and seasonal rains, our facility remains the primary lifeline for women seeking essential family planning, maternal care, and treatment for chronic respiratory conditions like asthma and pneumonia.
As we step into our next decade, keeping this care going relies on small, steady steps. Thank you for standing with us and ensuring that location never dictates access to basic healthcare.
Sincerely,
The Health & Help Team
