PROVADENIC is a non-profit communal health program which benefits the most dispossessed communities of rural Nicaragua.  Its fundamental task is to promote health through primary health care, working in communities, which do not receive any health services from the government or any other organization.

PROVADENIC's philosophy is that the best health care providers are those who live and work in the community itself. Rather than sending a doctor in every so often, it is more effective, sustainable and economical for the community to learn to take care of itself. It is a priority to train community members to prevent and treat the most common diseases, to organize for better health conditions such as potable water, adequate sanitation and to develop resources and training for better nutrition.
