vision:
Tesoro is an international non-profit organization that brings healthcare students on service trips to provide healthcare access to people in poverty. We currently work in Guatemala City, Guatemala with a community of approximately 13,000 people that have no access to health services. These community members live around and work in the city garbage dump for as little as $1.00 a day. We also provide educational seminars on various health related topics to this community as we believe education is power.
Tesoro Project is on a mission to empower healthcare leaders to heal and transform lives.
