Bringing hygiene and health care to remote villages in Central America —a sustainable program Nueva Salud is a new nonprofit organization whose mission affects thousands of neglected, impoverished people. Our mission is to introduce comprehensive hygiene and basic medical care to isolated villages where uncontrolled infections, parasites, and diarrhea are a permanent way of life, and doctors are not within reach. Other groups committed to health crusades around the world have specific targets—like the eradication of AIDS or TB. In contrast, Nueva Salud is dedicated to the lifetime basic health of each and every individual. And, most remarkably, we have found a way to introduce and establish programs that the villagers themselves can build and can sustain—one village at a time.
