Amazonas Hope For Health, Inc.

Imagine,  your child is sick...

You must travel by canoe for 4 hours, wait several more in a clinic, hoping for relief for your child.  And then the journey home begins.
 
 
As a parent, it is heart-wrenching to imagine that scenario.  For most parents in the remote regions of the Amazon State of Brazil, it is difficult to imagine otherwise.
 
 
 
 

Amazonas Hope For Health, a non-profit organization, is trying to provide those families with a new vision - a new experience.

It began with a medical mission trip to Brazil in 1995.  With return trips each year, a vision grew.  One of hope for accessible primary health and dental care for the people of this region.  

We encourage you to browse our site, and catch a glimpse of that vision.  Perhaps you'll decide that you, too, can make a difference for a family half a world away.
