How We Help

Everyone deserves to have health and hope.

At AMOS, our work flows out of the conviction that God calls us to work alongside the most vulnerable people for justice and healing. We envision a world where there is health and hope for all people.

Our programs focus on community-based primary health care, which means health care for the community, and by the community.

Our model fosters community empowerment to treat illnesses, prevent death and disease, and strengthen local leadership and collaboration. Through our programs, our staff and community health volunteers currently serve over 28,000 people in 25 communities of Nicaragua.

Treat

No one should die from a treatable illness.

Through a community-based model, AMOS trains health promoters in rural areas to identify and treat common illnesses, right in their own villages. And in isolated neighborhoods with high poverty in Managua, we provide quality primary health care services to people who would otherwise be unable to afford them.

Prevent

Preventing disease depends on addressing root causes.

AMOS mobilizes health promoters and community volunteers to regularly monitor the most vulnerable patients, increase access to clean water, educate about proper nutrition, and prevent the spread of tropical diseases. By addressing these underlying causes, we prevent health complications, water-borne illnesses, malnutrition, and more.

Strengthen

Strengthening communities by accompanying leaders creates lasting change.

When we work together to share health and hope, we make a greater impact. By investing in the empowerment of local leaders, supportive communities, collaboration across systems, and global health education, we work towards lasting change in the communities we serve and around the world.

No one should die from a treatable illness.

That’s why we train local leaders to treat common illnesses right in their own communities!
