Providing education and healthcare for children in Central America.

The Help Them Help Themselves Foundation is a non-profit charity that focuses on providing shelter, healthcare and education for the children of Central America. Just as our name suggests, we believe in helping to provide an environment in which kids can be safe, healthy and obtain a proper education so they can help themselves attain a better future.

Check out our page to get involved!

We urge you to join us in making a difference.

It only takes a few dollars and when you walk away from here today you can sleep tonight knowing that your donation likely gave a child a chance to grow up.

What more selfless thing could you possibly do?

CHANGE A LIFE

Donate just $1 a day for a month. Just $30 and you will help make the dream of building a clinic
that saves kid’s lives in Nicaragua a reality!
