More than twenty years ago, APECA began as a grass-roots effort with a vision and an independent floating health clinic. After many years of training volunteers from remote villages in health care, midwifery, leadership and conservation. APECA is now proud to supply health chests to villages with trained leaders. APECA’s work continues as a team of APECA staff and Ministry of Health employees provide a full service medical campaign to more than thirty communities on a tributary of the Amazon River.
