Etta's Birthday 2024

We are launching our new Etta Fund campaign to engage Community Health Promoters in continuing education training and help them boost the quality of their service in rural villages.

Our continuing education classes will be led by a well-respected Bolivian doctor who is trained in the use of both methods.  He will teach 12 day-long workshops over six months, to 25 Community Health Promoters at our Tekoati campus. The entire cost of each workshop will be $250, for a total of $3,000 for the entire series. This will cover the classes, transportation, food, and medicinal plant ‘starts’ to take back to their villages from our on-campus medicinal plant garden. This new series of workshops will build upon last year’s very successful Medicinal Plant Education class series, offering it to CHPs from additional regions.

As our Etta Fund grows, we also envision expanding our CHP continuing education workshops to focus on more areas of public health, in response to the increasing needs which our doctor on staff, Caterine has learned about during her field visits to participating communities.
