Providing Healthcare for Migrants
Healthcare is a human right.
Misión de Caridad works with migrants who cannot access medical help –– so we bring it to them.
Our Medical Fairs Improve Migrant Health
⇨ Medical Professionals: We bring experienced doctors, dentists, and optometrists from the U.S. to Mexico to improve migrant health in the communities we serve.
⇨ Needed Care: The community we work in has very high rates of diabetes and cavities. Many patients have never seen a doctor before.
⇨ Ongoing Education: Our medical fairs include education on healthy eating, toothbrushing, and more, so that people learn to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our team on the ground in Mexico continues this education in between our medical fairs to support health for migrants in the community.
Our Mission: Empower Migrants to Build New Lives in Mexico
⇨ Development programs: job skills training, health and wellness education, work opportunities for women
⇨ Investment in children: reading programs, tutoring, tuition assistance
⇨ Humanitarian aid: healthy food, clean water, medical fairs
