 Haiti Earthquake Relief: DONATE NOW

Healthy Aging Fund: DONATE NOW
Disabling conditions and decreased health status plague many people as they grow older. As the number of older persons increase, the primary health care system must evolve to meet the changing needs of their older clients. Action must be taken now to adapt the health care sector and train health providers to ensure that older adults are able to access health promotion, preventive services, and quality health services as they age. PAHEF has established the Healthy Aging Fund to support work in Latin America and the Caribbean to improve the availability of and access to quality health care for older persons as well as reduce disability among this population. Won’t you consider helping Latin America and the Caribbean prepare to care for its aging population?

There are cost-effective, targeted projects in the area of nutrition and childhood obesity that will result in healthier children living happier and more productive lives, and ultimately, in less poverty and greater prosperity for Latin America. Won’t you join us in investing in the future by sending your gift today?

Patrulla Aérea Colombiana-Antioquía (PAC-Antioquía) Fund: DONATE NOW

Indigenous Health Fund: José M. Periago: DONATE NOW
The multicultural and multilingual indigenous populations in the Americas face tremendous adversity and challenges, and social, cultural, and spiritual factors continue to result in significant health inequities. The poorest and most disadvantaged populations have poor access to needed services, and proven health approaches are often not cultually sensitive and thus fail in these communities. Working with NGOs in the countries, PAHEF is providing health education in native languages and helping health care providers to learn how to overcome barriers to health care. Your gift can help make these inequities history. 

Worm Busters Campaign: DONATE NOW
Intestinal parasites infect nearly two billion children and pregnant women worldwide, causing severe and often permanent impairment. Tropical climates and poor sanitation aid transmission. Your financial assistance will help deliver a safe, cheap, and effective cure. Deworming programs rapidly bring real benefit to millions suffering disability, stigma, poverty, and ill health. 

Friends of Bolivia Fund: DONATE NOW
At the forefront of the development challenges that Bolivia faces today is health. Child and maternal mortality, lack of reproductive health services, infection control, and chronic and tropical diseases are serious threats to a healthy nation. Specific projects are underway to reduce death and disease. With your gift, you can help Bolivians lead healthier, more productive lives.
