Changing health outcomes involves not only improved access to health care providers, but also demands expanded EDUCATION in order for sustained health and well-being to increase.
The FUEGO Foundation helps to train health care providers from the U.S. as well as those living in underdeveloped nations and strives to EDUCATION parents and families in the communities it services. Instruction has included teaching volunteers about the most culturally significant health issues, instructs the local health care providers on current practices, procedures and surgical techniques, and educates the local families about nutrition, healthy food alternatives, prenatal health care, proper dental, eye, and foot care, and hygiene and preventative health measures.
The EDUCATION phase of FUEGO's purpose is key as it enables the indigenous people to more become self-reliant.
Help us EDUCATE a people and ignite growth and healthier lives.
