Using a “teach them to fish” model, the Tia Foundation trains and equips community health workers elected by their neighbors to respond to emergencies and provide basic preventative care in remote communities of rural Mexico, where there are no doctors.
We accomplish this permanent, self-sustaining solution for $5 per person because we establish programs that allow local governments to take over continuing education and resupply of the robust medical kits our health workers receive.
Tia currently serves more than 521,000 people. Our health workers provide vaccinations, deliver babies, manage chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and offer preventative education to anyone in their community who wants to improve their health and well-being.
