I founded Health & Help with my best friend because I believe that people should not die from treatable diseases. We believe that our work is valuable. Every year, in two non-profit clinics in Guatemala and Nicaragua, we treat thousands of people, and we will not stop. Over the last six years, we have hosted hundreds of volunteers who, we believe, have become better people with us. I'm very proud to be a part of this

To be a part of the Health&Help is a great honor for me as a general physician. Here I’ve got much inspiration during the help people in Nicaragua, as well as an experience in diagnostic and treatment. And for sure, here I’ve found new friends, I guess, for the whole life of mine.

I worked as a Doctor in Nicaragua, was one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. The opportunity to share my knowledge to help those people where the access to be seen by a doctor is hard to get. The mission of this organization, is helpful and significant to others. Also, share a piece of time with people who wants the same as me is great and lovely.

Health & Help’s mission is one of the most noble and important causes that we can find these days when the world seems to be a really dark place. From the founders to the volunteers it’s easy to see the passion and commitment that they have for helping the vulnerable communities in Nicaragua and Guatemala that do not have easy access to medical services - something that should be a basic human right everywhere. This organization definitely deserves all the support and recognition they can get.

I have been a Volunteer at Health and Help since late 2023.

I found out about the organization through a job board and after speaking with a few of the team members I decided to put forth an application for a volunteer position. Currently I am volunteering to help gather information on funding as well as applying for grants.

The work this organization does is important as they provide medical services to communities in remote areas that would otherwise have no access to medical care. I cannot emphasize enough how crucial the work they do is. Whether they are providing emergency medical care or treating a preventable illness, they greatly increase the quality of the lives of those in these communities. Beyond the medical care they provide, they also provide health related education in a handful of areas, which can be just as valuable as the healthcare they provide.

The world they do is noble, and it makes me glad that such entities in the world exist.

Hello! I’m volunteer of Health&Help and based in Guatemala. I visited the clinic in February, 2024 and was inspired by dedication and impact the team made on local community’s development.

Health&Help build clinics and raise money to provide medical care for patients in Guatemala and Nicaragua, where it is difficult or impossible to get help. They do everything they can to ensure that people not die from curable diseases: provide medical care 24/7, educate basic diet and hygiene, control chronic diseases, supervise pregnancy and childbirth, support malnourished children etc.

Highly appreciate the experience being part of the team!

I am a volunteer at Health and Help and every day I can see how the lives of patients in La Salvia improve, having free medical care and medicines in very remote places really has a positive impact. I congratulate the organization and I would like to invite more and more people to join in helping the communities in Nicaragua and Guatemala.

I've been a Health & Help volunteer for 1.5 years, and not only it's there for supporting women in Guatemala and Nicaragua, it's also by itself a great community lead by women. As much as Health & Help is influencing the lives of its patients, it's also helping its volunteers become better people by giving an opportunity to serve others.

I was a medical volunteer with Health&Help 6 years ago. It was an amazing opportunity to work in very ressource-limited area, it was challenging for moments but definitely worth it. I was freshly graduated doctor so I had a lot of doubts and questions, but others helped me a lot. To work with patients from different culture was a challenge in itself, but definitely an interesting and empowering one.

Since then I have continued working as a medical expert, conducting interviews with medical candidates. I really enjoy that part as it is pretty different from what I usually do for my current job. I love that I am in the contact with so many inspiring and brave people, that truly believe in good in this world and try to make it work with all their efforts.

Health & Help is an inspiration for many different reasons.
First, their mission is to help as many patients in a suburban area as possible, without any expectancy of making a profit. And through the years He&He has saved thousands of patients from curable diseases, who otherwise could not get the help they needed.
Another reason I loveHe&He is that it restores faith in humanity. Everyone on the team I volunteer with is super passionate about what they're doing.
Also, the team consists of true professionals, who have limited recourses, but always come up with extraordinary ways to make their ideas come to life.
Being part of Health& Help is a true adventure for me, and at the same time, I can change the world for the better

I joined the Health & Help team almost 4 years ago as a volunteer at the HR department. I am inspired by the dedicated team around me. After a while, my commitment and enthusiasm led me to take on more responsibilities, and I eventually transitioned into the role of HR Director. This career journey not only reflects my personal growth but also underscores the supportive and empowering environment within the organisation. I am grateful for the opportunities to learn, contribute, and lead within Health & Help.

I have been volunteering at NPO Health & Help since March 2023. I assist in telling the world about what we do through social media.

I have long dreamed of volunteering for an NPO that helps people get medical care. Since I believe that such basic needs as food, water, medical care should be in every place on Earth. One day I saw a volunteer position from Health & Help. I followed the organisation's website and immediately knew that this is where I wanted to be. As I got to know our team and what they do, I was deeply impressed by how sincerely, with love and compassion, this team is carrying out its mission. Now I feel very happy to be part of a common cause and to see what results it brings!

I’ve been volunteering in Health&Help for 8 months as a copywriter in the online team. And outside of learning a lot about social media management and copyrighting, which helped me enormously while applying for my current job, I was a part of a really big mission — to save lives of people who don’t have access to medicine. We had weekly calls with founders, heads of departments, and other volunteers, which made me always feel as a part of the team and taught me more and more about the problem that exists in the countries of Central America and people who live in this reality.

Volunteering in Health&Help was one of the most meaningful and valuable experiences I’ve ever had.

The quality of work reflects a meticulous approach to problem-solving, while the volunteers' passion creates a collaborative and supportive environment. Health&Help stands out not only for its noble mission but also for the genuine sense of community among its members. I am proud to have been part of a team that goes above and beyond to make a meaningful impact, and I am confident that the organization will continue to positively influence the lives it touches.

Volunteering is my way of caring for others. I've been a video editor for over a year, and our team is amazing. We're always ready to share and help. Social media is a great way to show the truth about life near our clinics. I hope one day poverty is gone, and everyone gets fair treatment.

My experience working in the Health&Help clinic has been life-changing. I joined the project as a general practitioner to provide medical help to the people in rural area in Guatemala. Eventually ended up as a country director of the same exact project, now I can clearly see that this experience has been a humbling and transformative journey. It has taught me the importance of resourcefulness, resilience, and collaboration. Witnessing firsthand the positive impact our projects have had on the lives of individuals and communities has been incredibly fulfilling and has reinforced my passion for working in the nonprofit sector.

As one of the first virtual volunteers at Health & Help, I embarked on a journey that would deeply impact my view of the non-profit sector. Initially drawn in by the compelling work this organization was doing, I found myself increasingly fascinated by their commitment and effectiveness.

Without prior experience in non-profit endeavors, I was welcomed into a fold that champions real change. My virtual contributions, though seemingly small, were part of a larger collective effort that spanned continents. The work Health & Help is doing is nothing short of incredible, providing essential medical services to communities that would otherwise be neglected.

The pivotal moment came when I traveled to Guatemala to meet the clinic's team. Standing amidst the dedicated staff, I witnessed firsthand the fruits of our labor. The connection between our virtual efforts and the on-the-ground impact was palpable. The smiles, the gratitude, and the progress in the community were all the evidence I needed to see the difference we're making.

Health & Help operates with a rare blend of passion, transparency, and efficiency. Donations are transformed into life-changing services, and volunteers are the backbone of an operation that prioritizes humanity. I am proud to say that Health & Help doesn't just aim to make a difference—they actually do.

To anyone considering volunteering or donating, I can assure you that your contribution to Health & Help will be a step towards global betterment. This organization is a beacon of hope, and I am honored to continue my journey with them.

I learned about this NGO by watching a video on YouTube where the project's creation story was shared, and I was absolutely amazed that such projects can exist in our world. Right after watching the video, I visited the project's website and filled out a volunteer application. And now, for over three years, I've been part of this incredible team of volunteers, project staff, and donors who save lives every day. For those for whom the Health & Help clinic is the only chance to receive help, this team is making a significant difference.
