GoalThe goal of this project is to equip medical clinics in Nicaragua.
SummaryThis project seeks to raise $17,666 annually in order to equip clinics with vital medicines and supplies in 21 rural communities in Nicaragua.
DescriptionThe staff of AMOS in Nicaragua believes that everyone deserves access to health care, and to live a healthy, fulfilling life no matter where you are born. With your support, AMOS will be able to equip 21 rural community medical clinics with essential medications and supplies that help health promoters offer free health care and follow up home-visits in their own communities. This support means so much to the 8,777 direct beneficiaries who cannot afford to buy medicine or travel for hours to get emergency care. AMOS has been sharing health and hope for 16 years by working alongside vulnerable communities in rural and urban Nicaragua. They train local health volunteers to teach healthy habits, prevent and treat common diseases, and literally save lives. AMOS works with the most vulnerable populations, especially in remote, rural communities that otherwise would have no access to healthcare and medications. Year after year, they have seen improved health in children, pregnant moms and patients with chronic illnesses. These results give hope! Last year, more than 21,600 people had access to essential medications and health care in their own rural communities. But Nicaragua has faced challenges like social unrest, the effects of the pandemic, unemployment and inflation. Medications are more expensive and less affordable for the vulnerable. Accounting for inflation, AMOS hopes to raise $17,666 each year for a total of $53,000 over 3 years.
Suggested GiftsA gift of $500 will provide essential medications to treat sick children in a rural community for 4 months. A gift of $1,000 will help equip 3 rural community clinics for a year with essential medical supplies to treat injuries and provide first aid during emergencies. A generous gift of $5,000 would provide vital medications to treat sick children and prevent deaths in 5 rural communities for 6 months.
Prayer RequestsPray that funding for this project will provide not only medications but the transportation to deliver them to rural locations throughout Nicaragua. Pray that the patients in Boaco, Matagalpa, Chinandega and other locations will experience the tangible love of God through these medical clinics. Pray that the impact of this project will make it possible for parents to allocate their resources to satisfy basic needs like providing food for their children.
