Mission
Help Nicaragua Children is committed to improve the health of at risk children and to help afford them the opportunity to grow up into a better world.
Our work has three main goals.
Provide Direct Medical Care for Sick Children
We work in local clinics to provide modern paediatric care, to cure common diseases, and to alleviate suffering.
Community Based Prevention Programs
We travel to small rural communities where we offer:
Paediatric Health Screening
- Check immunization status
- Check height, weight, and head circumference
- Check stool specimens for parasites and worms
- Check urine specimens
Children with abnormal screening tests will be referred for follow up to the Clinic.

- Essentials of good nutrition
- How to disinfect water with solar irradiation
- How to prevent worm disease
- How to use oral rehydration solution
- How to treat fever
Basic Medications and Nutrition Supplements

- Oral rehydration solution packets for diarrhea

Achieve Sustainable Improvements in Health Care
With education, we desire to help Nicaragua families to help themselves, for a lifetime.
