ANGELS OF THE AMAZON, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

In 2009, the Angels of the Amazon began partnering with the medical clinic in Esperanza Village. This medical clinic is the only entity supporting the medical needs of the people of the Tahuayo River basin. With assistance from AoA, the Esperanza Clinic has improved to the point where it is now considered to be the best rural clinic within Peru’s Amazon region. Although the clinic was built to service the health care and needs of the people of the Tahuayo River basin, patients in medical need often travel from surrounding communities seeking out quality medical and dental treatment and care that is offered by the clinic. Angels of the Amazon oversaw the reconstruction of Esperanza Clinic & funding for staff Angels of The Amazon reconstructed this rural clinic by first adding concrete floors, two emergency care rooms, bathrooms and offices for the clinical staff. In 2010 a maternity room was added and in 2011 electricity was provided by utilizing solar power thus giving evening lights for emergency medical procedures as well as providing the capabilities to refrigerate vaccines and antivenin. In addition to enlarging and improving the clinic facility, AoA also assists with the funding of the staff, paying the salary of an obstetrics/gynecology nurse and an emergency trauma care nurse. Part time help and practicing interns are also provided for by AoA. Some essential medicines and medical supplies used by the clinic are likewise provided. Dentists and physicians are regularly brought into the region for health clinics as well.

The largest measurable impact that the AoA has thus far had on the educational opportunities for the children is the Scholarship Program initiative. Students with academic potential are identified and matched with donors who are historically former guests of Amazonian Expeditions tour company. Students supported by the Scholarship Programs have gone on to attend high schools, technical schools and universities in Iquitos city. The Angels of the Amazon’s viable programs are done with the financial support of Amazonian Expeditions. The company funds all aspects of the infrastructure, overhead and administration of AoA, in both the US and Peruvian offices.
