The Tia Foundation, launched in 2006 in Phoenix, Arizona: Using a “teach them to fish” model, the Tia Foundation trains and equips community health workers (Promotoras), elected by their neighbors, in remote parts of rural Mexico, where there are no doctors. We accomplish this permanent, sustainable solution for less than $5 a person, because the local governments take over continuing education and resupply of the robust medical kits each health worker is given. Tia currently serves more than 706,000 villagers. Our health workers provide vaccinations, deliver babies, manage chronic diseases like diabetes, and offer preventative education.
