AMOS Health & Hope

What AMOS Health & Hope does

AMOS Health & Hope is a Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Nejapa, Nicaragua (with U.S. offices in Gibsonia and Hermitage, Pennsylvania) that reduces health inequities in rural and peri-urban Nicaraguan communities by training and empowering local community members to deliver primary healthcare. Founded in 2007 and building on the legacy of predecessor organization PROVADENIC (founded by Dr. Gustavo Parajón), AMOS operates a network of free or low-cost clinics — including the Samaritan Clinic in Nejapa and the Villa Guadalupe Urban Clinic near Managua's largest landfill — alongside rural community clinics spanning five regions of Nicaragua.

The organization's service portfolio combines direct clinical care with community-based prevention and capacity-building programs. Core offerings include the Community Health Volunteer Program, intensive Health Promoter Training, Wellness Clubs and Care Groups for chronic illness patients (diabetes and hypertension), the WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Program, Sexual and Reproductive Health education, the Parenting With Love program, Dental Health Services, and the Seeds of Hope Scholarship Program that funds community health volunteers' continued education. Distribution occurs through physical clinic sites, home visits for immobile patients, trained volunteer networks covering 200+ communities, plus supplementary engagement products (in-person and Virtual Mission Trips).

Revenue mechanics are donation-based: individual one-time and recurring gifts (including the 52 Weeks of Hope Club monthly subscription program), Parajón Society legacy gifts, mission-trip fees, and institutional/faith-based partnerships (notably International Ministries and former partner Manna Project International). The organization holds no patents, software platforms, or proprietary technology; its digital footprint is limited to a Wired Impact-hosted website with online donation and newsletter capabilities. No AI, ML, or software product capabilities are present.
