Health and well-being are top priorities for Austin Samaritans and its generous benefactors. One of life's most precious gifts is certainly proper medical treatment for a condition or illness, especially when you can't afford it. And what a gift for the caregiver to offer up one's skills to the benefit of so many in need.
Austin Samaritans partners with several agencies and churches to publicize and organize medical mission trips to our target countries.
In Nicaragua, for instance, medical mission teams set up day clinics for people who live and spend every day scavenging for recyclables inside Managua's city dump. These medical professionals then partnered with Clinica Amenia Chureca to open a free medical clinic once a week. Support and donations continued to grow and the clinic is now open five days a week.
