COMMUNITY: GRAN CALHUA

Gran Calhua, Tungurahua, Ecuador

Gran Calhua is a rural community located within the province of Tunugurahua in Ecuador. This community relies on farming as a way to put food on their tables and lacks proper access to healthcare. 


We held a free preventive screening clinic outside of their local church. Some of the most prevalent health concerns for Calhua is malnutrition. Through numerous donations, we were able to provide food basics to each participant.
