Mission

First decade (1993-2003) camo's first decade focused on building essential infrastructure and developing a counterpart model in 13 medical programs. U.s. And honduran specialists were paired to provide training and fill critical healthcare gaps in ophthalmology, dentistry, biomedical services, audiometry, and prosthetics. With a growing influx of donated supplies and equipment, storage space became a priority. Initially housed in an abandoned warehouse and barn, camo soon shipped six 53-foot freight containers annually to honduras. At the hospital regional de occidente, conditions were dire-buzzards roamed the courtyard, water was trucked in from a river, and the kitchen was blackened with soot from open fires. Camo addressed urgent needs by building a modern kitchen and laundry facility, dramatically improving conditions for 210 patients daily. By 1998, camo had grown beyond its founder's home and nursing wages. That year, hurricane mitch struck, and at the request of the u.s. Ambassa

Programs

Training and education: as honduras' national training center for the american heart association, camo trains thousands of healthcare professionals annually, improving the quality of care for underserved communities. Camo ensures that every new service, facility improvement, and equipment installation includes hands-on training. Additionally, camo supports 17 of the most vulnerable elementary schools, providing textbooks, literacy programs, and teacher mentorship, benefiting over 2,000 at-risk children each year.

Expenses: $13K

Community development: since 2004, camo has partnered with local leaders in santa rosa de copn to improve the lives of the most at-risk populations. Projects include a community gym, cultural center, trade school, public daycare, and a domestic violence shelter, offering protection and intervention for women and children in crisis. A camo-built public health center now serves as a national model for healthcare in honduras. These initiatives contribute to crime reduction, with honduras' homicide rate dropping from 66 per 100,000 in 2014 to 31.1 in 2024 (usaid/statista).
