Meet the interns who supported International HELP from Fall 2025 through Summer 2026 through training development, grant research, health education content creation, and global project preparation.

From training 18 new Community Health Workers in rural El Salvador to expanding chronic disease outreach in Uganda, the spring months of 2026 highlighted growth, leadership, and the multiplying impact of community-based healthcare.

In March 2026, our team returned to Texistepeque, El Salvador, with a mission to strengthen local healthcare from the ground up. Through intensive training and hands-on workshops, we successfully certified 44 new Community Health Workers in life-saving skills ranging from advanced first aid to maternal health. Read on to see the measurable impact of this trip, the challenges we overcame, and how your continued support is building a healthier, more resilient future for these rural communities.

The first months of 2026 highlight resilience and growth across our Community Health Worker network. From strategic planning and expanded outreach in Uganda to emergency preparedness in El Salvador and flood response in Zimbabwe, CHWs are beginning the year with commitment and compassion.

From monthly meetings that never missed a beat to large-scale maternal health trainings in Uganda, the second half of 2025 showed what’s possible when Community Health Workers are consistently supported. This impact update highlights milestones, community events, and the quiet, faithful work of CHWs serving across El Salvador and Uganda.
