Besides giving underprivileged children access to modern medical care, FIMRC is also committed to improving children’s lives through education.  Global health is best improved by local community members participating in health education programs.  Through Project Alto Vera, FIMRC is proud to recognize the efforts of community members who go above and beyond in this underserved community.

Project Bumwalukani, Uganda

Just outside of San Salvador, El Salvador is Las Delicias, an underserved community of approximately 5000 people.  With clinic completion expected in September 2007, FIMRC hopes to provide much needed medical care to the children of Las Delicias. 

Peru’s medical facilities are critically understaffed and underfunded, and many medical establishments struggle to provide even basic medical care to the people they serve. The hospitals are overburdened with patients, many of whom have illnesses preventable by basic hygiene and healthy living practices. The doctors in these hospitals lack the time and resources to teach each patient how to live a healthy life. The central goal of FIMRC’s Peru program is to provide staff support to Peru’s Ministry of Health both in medical facilities and within the community.

Project Monte Nuevo, Ecuador

Health starts with the individual. Unfortunately, many children and adults worldwide do not have access to health education or may not receive accurate information regarding health. FIMRC is working toward enabling kids to help themselves by providing accurate, easy to understand information regarding basic health & hygiene to children in our project sites.

Oral health can significantly impact the overall health of children. Toothbrushes, the basic tool for healthy teeth and gums, are luxury items for children in impoverished communities where some families live in houses built only from cardboard. FIMRC recognizes the need to focus on oral health as part of our larger objective – healthy children worldwide - and commits to collecting and distributing one million toothbrushes.
