Welcome

MEJOR Communities stands for Managing, Executing and Joining Opportunities for Rural Communities. In Spanish, mejor means better. Founded on the idea that health creates opportunities, MEJOR Communities is a nonprofit organization that aims to create opportunities in rural areas of Peru through our health education programs and projects.

Our efforts have started in the Peruvian town of Cajamarca, but we hope to expand to reach other rural communities in the near future. MEJOR Communities focuses specifically on rural communities as it is here that health problems are most prevalent and under addressed. Although these communities are often difficult to reach, they are also the poorest in resources and opportunities. We understand the importance of showing perseverance to the communities in order to develop positive, trusting relationships.

MEJOR Communities is recognized as a non-profit organization in the state of Oregon. We are also recognized by the IRS as a federally tax exempt organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
