Central American Medical Outreach (CAMO) is a non-denominational, Christian-based humanitarian organization that has been making a significant impact since its launch in 1993. Founded by Kathryn M. Tschiegg, RN, BBA, a former Peace Corps nurse, CAMO is dedicated to providing life-saving medical services, education, and community development to the impoverished population of Central America.

Through CAMO, more than 140,000 life-saving services are provided annually to individuals who would otherwise have no access to healthcare. Inspired by her time in the Peace Corps, Kathryn Tschiegg developed the CAMO model, focusing on equipping Honduran doctors and nurses with the necessary tools and knowledge to save lives. Originally, CAMO's efforts centered around providing equipment, supplies, and education to healthcare professionals, resulting in an average of 150 infants per year going home alive in the loving arms of their parents.

CAMO's mission extends beyond medical services to include women's health, services for disabilities, general surgical maintenance, training, education, community development, public health, and support for various facilities such as hospitals, gyms, cultural centers, trade schools, daycare centers, and domestic violence shelters. CAMO is committed to its vision of creating a healthier and more empowered Central American community through its partnerships with individuals, groups, and corporations. By getting involved with CAMO through donations, fundraising activities, sponsorships, and volunteering opportunities (both nationally and internationally), you can make a difference in the lives of those in need.
