Latin America Community Assistance Foundation Details
About UsThe Latin America Community Assistance Foundation (LACA) is dedicated to improving the lives of the poorest of the poor in rural Latin America.Founded in 1992 to conduct medical clinics in Honduras, LACA has expanded in the past 16 years to meet our clients urgent needs and help communities become healthy, educated, and empowered to determine their own future. LACA now works in Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, and Honduras. Major programs have included:Partnering with local community leadership, LACA typically sponsors several projects clustered around small, remote rural towns and villages where people live in extreme poverty, lacking food, adequate water and shelter, medical care, economic opportunities and basic infrastructure (such as roads and electricity.) Examples of our integrated programs include:LACA's involvement is unusually hands-on. In the countries where we have programs, Board Members, volunteer doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others visit to monitor on-going projects, counsel our scholarship students, and discuss the community's other needs with local civic leaders.We all pay our own travel expenses, and we are hosted in-country by our local partners. Many medical supplies and other resources are donated. As a result, 96% of all funds go directly to helping the poor in Latin America.
