Thanks to our generous donors, in 2007, Tia has trained 53 new community health workers, serving over 15,000 people!
The 28 community health workers from El Salvador, Jalisco, Mexico are the newest graduates. With the help of Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara’s Community Medicine Program, hundreds of people have received medical care this year.
Fifteen thousand people now have the ability to care for all but their most serious health problems. In 2008 with more funding, Tia hopes to more than double the number of people we are currently serving.
This makes me so happy to see the progress that is being made. All of this in the course of one year? Amazing! Tia Foundation represents the makings of an organization changing the way we think about poverty and the ability of people living in poverty to fulfill their dreams given the slightest chance and minimal support to rise above.
Thank you for your work and happy new year!
