In 2009, we constructed a 2,000-square-foot Belén Clinic. Like surrounding homes, it sits on stilts to accommodate seasonal flooding by the Itaya River. We held our first clinic here in February 2010 and continue to offer clinics several times a year. The building is also utilized for community meetings and educational training for local families.

The Belén Clinic has composting toilets and an ultraviolet water purification system donated by our partners, Engineers Without Borders. In November 2014, we also partnered with the non-governmental organization, Toilets For People, to install low-cost composting toilets in several houses located nearby.

Our vision is to continue to improve health conditions in Belén by increasing the number of clinics we hold there and continuously enhancing the quality and capacity of our facility.
