The Roberto Clemente Health Clinic serves as a positive agent for change by saving lives, improving health, and fulfilling the promise of medicine for those most in need. We are located in a very remote area in Tola, Nicaragua and see approximately 9,000 patients per year, and your contributions are vital to the continued success of our efforts. While it may be hard to imagine the impact your financial contribution may have to such a distant community, every donation helps. Whether it’s $5, $50, $500 or $5,000, please use thisform to make your donation.
Donating only takes a minute, but will have a long-lasting effect on the people of Nicaragua.
You can also volunteer abroad with us and enjoy a nice vacation and do some social work in our clinic. Volunteer in Nicaragua is very easy and while medical volunteers and public health volunteers are very much in demand, you do not necessarily need to be in the healthcare sector. There are numerous volunteer opportunities abroad for social workers, students, teachers, lawyers, healthcare social workers, etc. If you are looking for an international volunteer experience and wish to make a positive contribution to humanity, there is no better place to gain volunteer experience than at the Roberto Clemente Health Clinic.
We constantly welcome volunteers who come to practice what they’ve learned in medical schools, doctors and specialists who come to treat patients with special illnesses and many more people who are not medically trained, but just want to help us with our public health care mission.
Take some time out to visit and volunteer in beautiful Nicaragua at our Clinic. The community of Limon would welcome your help with open arms and warm smiles. I promise it will be an enjoyable and inspiring experience.
It's amazing how one simple idea--providing help to a community in Nicaragua-- transformed into this model private health clinic. The fact is our clinic is evolving wonderfully since we started this project in 2003. It's become so much more than we ever imagined. It's improved the lives of many locals and visitors with emergency and ongoing care.
The Roberto Clemente-Santa Ana Health Clinic has truly become the gold standard of private health clinics in all of Central America. Many visitors to this region tell me they are greatly impressed by the Clinic’s team, expanded services and facilities, volunteer participation and community support. I am proud to be a part of the clinic's mission:
To improve health care in Nicaragua, starting with the communities
surrounding Limon and Rancho Santana.
The clinic's mission remains strong and focused for 2010. And while we are always thankful for donations, I wanted to personally let you know that the economic recession hasn't faltered our resolve to accomplish our goals or our budget. If anything, it has made us more resourceful and more determined to show the clinic community that we will not close our doors. We want to be there for them always, so they know that they can depend on us in good times and bad.
This annual report again verifies how capable the clinic team is in providing primary care, preventative medicine and emergency help to those in need—as well as educating the local residents on better health care practices.
As a supporter of the Roberto Clemente Santa Ana Health Clinic, you are an essential part of our success. Thank you so much for your participation and donations. Your caring is always present in our hearts and minds.
With your help, you can transform the life of a child today!
Jesus Adrian Gazo (pictured, far right) and his family are lucky enough to live close to the Roberto Clemente Clinic. Due to the caring and financial sponsorship of people like you, Jesus has been able to receive vital medical attention to help his various issues, including lack of good nutrition, convulsions, and slow development of his psychomotor skills.
Unfortunately, Eduardo pictured in blue pants, red plaid shirt died recently because he did not have a sponsor to provide him with the medical care that we all take for granted.
Help us prevent tragedies like Eduardo’s – sign up now and become part of this wonderful program. We’ll send you regular updates of your child’s development.

VOLUNTEER OVERSEAS: DO YOURSELF SOME GOOD, WHILE DOING GOOD FOR OTHERS
When you volunteer abroad it’s not just the people in need who benefit. Volunteer workers enjoy powerful feelings of purpose and a strong sense of accomplishment. They meet new people and make life-long friends. Volunteer work offers the opportunity to experience other cultures, learn things not found in books or classrooms and gain a new perspective on the world at large.
Past workers have reported that medical volunteering has been among the best experiences of their lives…
Whether you’re looking for a change of pace (or scenery!) from your current medical/healthcare career or are looking for an exciting way to fulfill your internship responsibilities, The Roberto Clemente Clinic in Nicaragua presents a great volunteer opportunity – the chance to combine the thrilling adventure of travel with the benevolent feelings of giving back to those in need.
Contact Juan Munoz, at jmunoz @ nicaclinic.org our US-based volunteer manager to find out more about this exciting overseas volunteer program.
While we were in Nicaragua in our last administrative visit, we have received many requests for help and sponsorship. These requests come from children, from children's parents, and from young adults - usually at the beginnings of their career - who need help to get any further with their lives. If you feel able to help any of these people, then we will gladly take on the responsibility of ensuring that the funds get to those involved.
There is an urgent need for sponsorship, especially of promising school children in the area around Tola, Rivas, Nicaragua. The shattering effect that respiratory infections and other sickness had on the local population is devastating. There are many, many cases of one young adult or a young man and his wife quitting schools because they need money to eat.
Here we have a list of children looking for sponsoship:
