Many families live in jungle homes and have historically had no access to books or modern medicine. Nobody in the community could read before 2019. Since the pandemic, the flow of donated medical supplies from abroad has dried up, leaving our pharmacy and lab struggling to serve the families who rely on them. Without sustainable funding, this community risks losing its only lifeline to essential healthcare and quality education. Isolation is the greatest barrier for these jungle communities.
Our medical center offers a pharmacy and lab, while our unique dental partnership operates 8 chairs to serve the entire region. Across the road, our educational center provides a library and a computer studio with specialized learning software. Your support ensures these services remain permanent and helps us fund our next goal: a dedicated performing arts studio for the village youth.
A donation of $15 could provide vital medication to one patient, thank you for your support.
