About Us

An organization with a global heart ❤

We are an international organization led by the community. We work alongside community members, building upon their own knowledge and experiences so that they themselves become their own health care providers, engineers, teachers, and cooperative business members.

Being a Concern America-trained health promoter practitioner is the most beautiful thing that has happened to me: I have learned an art that benefits many people.

In our work, we are always visited by people with few resources; people are always visiting me in my home looking for help, and they are the reason we do what we do.
