The Inter-American Health Alliance is a volunteer-run 501(c)3 charitable organization that supports community health organizations working with marginalized populations in the western highlands of Guatemala. We provide financial, technical and organizational support to our partnering organizations
We work to improve access to health care and health education through the development of innovative collaborations between governmental, non-governmental, and educational institutions.
We believe in the power of service-learning and in the potential for sustainable university collaborations to improve health conditions in the communities where we work and to speed access to up-to-date, evidence-based clinical information and medical technologies.
Five Times Five Hundred is a fundraising campaign to provide sustaining support for Primeros Pasos ("First Steps"), a clinic that provides free health education and clinical care to children in the Western Highlands of Guatemala.
The idea is simple, but effective. A team of 500 sustaining members donating just $5 a month ($5 X 500) can allow Primeros Pasos to meet its annual expenses for its core pediatric Healthy Schools Program.
