Shoulder
to Shoulder is a private, non-profit, non-governmental organization
(NGO) formed in 1996. It began providing health care services in
rural Honduras in 1990, six years prior to its official
incorporation. In the spirit of local empowerment, Shoulder
to Shoulder, Inc., worked with local community leaders in Honduras to
form Hombro a Hombro, a grassroots, community-based, non-profit NGO
registered in Honduras since 1996. Shoulder to Shoulder and
Hombro a Hombro work in tandem to achieve a single mission: to develop
educational and health programs to help poor, rural communities in
Honduras achieve sustainable development and improve the overall health
and well being of its residents. We seek to address the health,
education, economic, and social needs of under served communities in the
poorest areas of Honduras.
Shoulder
to Shoulder represents successful partnerships between poor rural
communities and academic health centers. Volunteers from
the U.S. include physicians, dentists, nurses, lawyers, engineers,
business experts builders and students. The central theme
of our partnerships is mutual growth. Every project
involves the provision of health care at the level of the
community. This involves working in the most remote sites,
often in communities without water or electricity.
Presently we provide primary health care and community support to over 25,000 people with clinics a 4 sites. We provide meals to over 2000 children each day. There are programs with home and community water filters, women's health, dentistry, Yo Puedo or young girls empowerment, scholarships for the brightest and poorest, libraries for the children. We are expanding rapidly with the addition of 3 new academic partnerships at 3 new sites and are building a new 5500 sq ft clinic in Concepcion.
