A peak into our 'non-toxic' approach

Driving sustainable public health development

We like to think about sustainable development at the grassroots level. We tailored our own 'non-toxic' approach to addressing local community health by working with our partners on-the-ground. These addressed local needs identified to be most important by community leaders, including infectious diseases like fungal and bacterial infections and chronic conditions like lung disease (e.g., COPD). Our teams built 'pilas' (i.e., sources for clean water), community sanitation stations, eco-stoves, bathrooms with septic tanks, and concrete floors. Each of these revolved around a key health indicator, that we measured over time in our community patient health record database.

Overall, we saw over a 30% decline in infectious disease over the course of our five-year commitment!

MDJunior Honduras
a long history of community partnership

Deeply ingrained with the leaders of the country

From its inception, we have worked with policy and service leaders in the Honduran community. Sister Maria Rose, a Nobel peace prize nominee known as the 'Mother Theresa' of Honduras, was one of our biggest proponents. In 2012, she personally asked us to make the five-year commitment that we did to Nuevo Paraiso in Southwest Honduras. The Consulate General of Honduras in Atlanta was one of our most invaluable advisors. For our unique approach and impact, we were even recognized by the Honduran Presidency! The First Lady of Honduras personally hosted us at the Presidential Palace in the Tegucigalpa.

A unique opportunity for High School Students

The only organization that
makes international medical
work available to HS youth

MDJunior believes that high school youth are at a unique age to drive significant community change. High-schoolers are passionate, motivated, driven and truly care about equipping themselves with unique experiences in global health. That's why we stepped up in the international development community and created the first medical brigades model for high school students.

MDJunior Honduras
A non-toxic approach

Our work in Honduras represented a long-term commitment to sustainable public health development, using a holistic approach to global health to create short-term and long-term impact.

Medical Brigades

Our time on the ground is usually made up of 3-4 days of 'Medical Brigades' in which we see ~300 patients a day. Over the course of our history, we have provided patient care to over 6,000 rural Hondurans.

Public Health Projects

We ensure that we help local communities by working on more long-term public health work including sanitation, hygiene, and preventative measures aimed at the health issues affecting local families the most.

Local Partners

Our community advisors span partnerships with local healthcare organizations, major nonprofits, firefighting brigades, and government. We've even worked closely with the President's office!

Engaged Communities

None of our work is possible without strong community engagement, and this has been established through a long-term partnership with community leaders in Nuevo Paraiso, Honduras for over 5 years.

Health Infrastructure

We always keep an eye on the long-term. We've been able to pinpoint specific needs for sustainable development like establishing clinics, building tele-health practices, and stocking local pharmacies.
