Roberto Clemente-Santa Ana Health Clinic Inc

Padrino Sponsor-a-Child Program - Children registered in the program from different communities, such as Limon 1, Limon 2, Canas de Garcia, Las Salinas, Virgen Morena, San Ignacio, Las Mercedes, El Asentamiento, among others. Children are matched with volunteers who provide financial sponsorship of monthly healthcare and education costs. The sponsors are called "Padrinos and they enable each child to have healthcare and a formal education.The Padrino Program handed out uniforms and school supplies to each sponsored child. During the event, they also received physical examinations, laboratory tests, assessments of their nutrition and growth levels, and dental checkups.Our University scholarship program supports over 7 students including our first graduate who went through the entire school system thanks to the Clinic support.

Our biointensive gardens were found in over 16 communities. Organic gardens were benefited from by 110 families and two non-governmental organizations and community markets increased to 13 in the region. The Healthy Eating Initiative aided over 9,000 people.

Clean Water Initiative - A lot of what we treat at the clinic is the direct result of contaminated water. Most families in the community do not have potable water: Their wells are contaminated with bacteria from a nearby septic system or the water is too calcified.For our Clean Water Initiative, we continued the distribution of fresh, filtered water to 9 schools, 2 health centers, and 3 institutions. The Clean Water Initiative has benefited over 6,000 people in the region.
