Philosophy

The Honduran Health Alliance is an international alliance of organizations working together in the areas of education, capacity building,  health and development. Member groups are dedicated to common ideals of cooperation and partnership coupled with self-determination to facilitate our on-going work. The current focus of our work is promoting women's health and community development.

Each summer, a group of UNC medical and public health students travels to Honduras for a women's health education and screening project. Students visit six partner communities where they live with families and give health education talks for community women. One goal is supporting local lay health promoters to teach men and women about basic health issues. Supervised by UNC physicians, students also organize and run a screening clinic for community women.

The trip in July 2010 will be the seventh consecutive summer that HHA students work in Honduras.
