Wheels for Change
4:08 pmWheels for Change is a non-profit, agricultural affiliate of Partners in Health of Maine. Our goal is to use sustainable, small-scale animal agriculture to build wealth and fight nutrient deficiencies in indigenous Miskito communities in Nicaragua’s Northern Autonomous Atlantic Region.
For twenty years, Partners in Health (PIH). has provided medical care for people in need in communities not only in the United States, but around the world. More recently, Partners in Health has addressed the importance of agriculture and farming for many subsistence communities by adding a veterinary component to their work.
As part of the veterinary arm of PIH, Proyecto Kalila was born out of the desire to confront two main challenges that exist in many rural villages across the world: access to high quality protein, and access to a source of work that can provide cash flow. Click to read more about Proyecto Kalila.
Please support Partners in Health with this important nutritional and dental project. Though these projects are being started in only one tiny village, the potential impact could be much more global, as the principles learned and practiced can be applied to any rural impoverished community worldwide.
