Tikkun Olam Nicaragua

A 501©(3) non-profit charitable organization combating poverty & providing access to health care serv We also provide supplies to the orphanage where we stay.

What do you get when you combine doctors, nurses, pharmacists, an audiologist a photographer, a Rabbi and some extra caring hands on a medical mission to Nicaragua?..... Tikkun Olam Nicaragua
We are a diverse and inter-faith professional medical team that travels annually to Jinotega, Nicaragua. While based at a children's orphanage, our group travels to remote pueblos where there is no access

to medical care, providing a general medical clinic to over 1,200 patients each trip. Our professionals provide much needed medications and supplies and we work with the Ministry of Health in Nicaragua for continuation of care. I want to be part of the solution....
You can contact us to volunteer for a medical mission and you can also make a monetary donation which will go directly and wholly towards purchase of additional medical supplies for the poor pueblos and orphanage. Please go to our website and make a difference! www.tikkunolamnicaragua.com
Thank you for your support of our work - please stay tuned for photos and daily updates from our trips. Until then, wishes for a year filled with good health, abundant love and gratitude. Best,
The Tikkun Olam Nicaragua Team

Update-- it's been three years-- wow-- since Mitzi Fishburn RN and I went on a scouting mission trip with Kenya Relief! I hope this finds everyone well.

Pandemic Update: Hard to believe it has been a year since the pandemic started. We hope you are well and safe and able to get the vaccine soon! As many of you remember, we had originally planned to partner with Kenya Relief for August 2020, after Mitzi Fishburn, RN and I had gone on a medical mission trip in March 2019. The political unrest has continued in Nicaragua and our Board decided to continue our efforts via a partnership with Kenya Relief. The August 2020 trip was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic, but rescheduled for July 2021 with the same team composition. All Tikkun Olam team members who signed on for 2020, had signed on for the 2021 trip! Even with all team members vaccinated, we have decided it was best to roll over our deposits with Kenya Relief and travel in 2022. Due to the ever changing mutations and variants of the virus, we felt it was too soon to travel internationally. We will keep you posted as our next year's plans develop!!

Follow our blog next week! As many of you know, Tikkun Olam Nicaragua is unable to serve in Nicaragua due to the continued civil unrest. We pray for the continued safety and well being of those we greatly care for in Nicaragua. Mitzi Fishburn, RN and I will be joining Kenya Relief's general medical mission team next week -- and we will be scouting out the possibility of bringing our team to Kenya in 2020. Please follow our blog for impressions, experiences and photos! Gracias! Tresha

So much has happened in our beloved Nicaragua since April of last year, and sorry we have not posted-- we have hoped that the political climate would get better over time. With a heavy heart we have decided not to return in 2019 or in 2020. We continue to pray for the safety for all and for a peaceful resolution. Here is the latest news:

Government critic Carlos Fernando Chamorro says he has gone into exile in Costa Rica.
