Netzer-Brady International's primary focus is to continue supporting the Rio Beni Health Foundation in Bolivia. Much like the early days of the health work in the Upper Amazon rain forest, NB International is a small charitable organization that will grow slowly over time.



For now the organization will continue its efforts to manage and fundraise the health work in Bolivia, working directly with the Foundation staff and board, as well as with national and local government officials and health professionals.

In the future it is hoped that we will be able to support projects we know and have been involved with in the past in other areas of the world -- especially Kenya and Honduras, to mention just a couple.

In the meantime our primary focus will concentrate on the expanding work in Bolivia.

Our Work

Since its inception ten years ago, the Project has grown steadily in the number of villages served, the geographic area covered and in recognition from the Bolivian government. Initiated as a small endeavor to bring mobile health care to a handful of isolated villages along the Beni River, the work now covers over 60 villages in an area of more than 2000 square miles.

The Project has three principal activities: to provide regular clinical services to isolated communities, to promote preventive health care through education and the provision of potable water.  Clinical services are conducted by mobile clinics, facilitated by small boat or 4WD vehicle.  Education and prevention activities are carried out in the schools, at community health meetings, and by training community health workers in preventive and basic primary health care.  Potable water initiatives are carried out directly with community participation.
