IMPACTING HEALTHCARE In 2024, we provided high-quality medical care to individuals who would otherwise lack access to essential healthcare services. Dedicated medical volunteers embarked on journeys to Chimaltenango, establishing one-week clinics. Each clinic team diligently attended to a substantial number of patients, totaling 1,728 patients who received care at our clinics. Additionally, surgical teams from around the world traveled to Retalhuleu and successfully performed 140 life-altering surgeries.

IMPACTING HOMES In 2024, our dedicated volunteer teams installed 610 smoke-free stoves and water filters in the homes of families who rely on open fires for cooking. These innovative stoves effectively eliminate smoke within the home, significantly reducing wood consumption by 60%. Moreover, they mitigate the risk of burns among children, ensuring their safety. Additionally, women gain back valuable hours each week, as they spend less time gathering wood. The water filters provide access to clean and safe drinking water, thereby preventing waterborne illnesses and promoting overall well-being.
