The area of health execute the follow projects
- Medical help and support in emergencies

- Habits of hygiene
Medical help and tests
To complement all of the aforementioned programs a medical help and support is paramount. In Ecuador, the health social system is inadequate and for a major part of the population is unaffordable. To prevent major ailments, prevention and early diagnosis are the best tools. Therefore, one more project we want to develop is to organise frequent medical consultations in the community with an external doctor. It is important to combine the traditional knowledge with the modern one. Alternative medicine enjoys in Ecuador a broad base of medicinal herbs and plants. In cases of emergencies or severe need of medical assistance, we bring the children who assist to the learning support program.
Habits of hygiene
Health is the mirror of the habits with regard to hygiene, food, physical exercise, rest, psychological state, positive feelings among other things that are why in every activity we realise in the foundation, we insist on:
- Personal hygiene guidelines (washing the hands, showering, combing and dressing up)
- Home hygiene guidelines (cleaning vegetables, boiling the water among others)
