DONATE

Since 1988, Cape CARES has treated families and communities for three generations, making us one of the oldest NGO's in Honduras! Returning to each community multiple times a year has allowed for Cape CARES to build a team-centered primary care practice that provides medical and dental treatment, follow up care, preventive care, health education, and community needs assessments. None of this would be possible without you, and the generous support of donors like you! Get your gift matched today!

Challenge

Access to health and dental care has always been limited in Honduras. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and overburdened hospitals, access became nearly impossible for the past two years. For those living in the rural areas that our clinic serves, long travel distances for care and very limited financial abilities to pay for the travel, patient visits, and medications, are just some of the barriers faced when trying to access health and dental care.

Long-Term Impact

Cape CARES has worked to form sustainable long-term partnerships with community leaders to address overall health of the dry corridor in Honduras; for example, consulting on a water filter project, helping to provide women with prenatal vitamins, and holding community needs assessments and health educational sessions. We strive to create positive and sustainable changes in the lives of our patients, their families, and their communities.
