The Tia Foundation Sustainable Health Solutions
for Rural Mexico In many rural communities of Mexico, even tiny, spartan health clinics are often scarce.

Most communities rely on infrequent visits from volunteer doctors. Using a “teach them to fish” model, the Tia Foundation trains and equips Community Health Workers elected by their neighbors to respond to emergencies and provide basic preventative care in remote communities of rural Mexico, where there are no doctors. We accomplish this permanent, self-sustaining solution for less than $5 per person because we establish programs that allow local governments to take over continuing education and resupply the robust medical kits our health workers receive. Tia currently serves more than 786,000 people. Our health workers provide vaccinations, deliver babies, manage chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and offer preventative education to anyone in their community who wants to improve their health and well-being.

🎓Congratulations to Our New Promotores!🎓

After an incredible week of learning, serving, and growing together, our newest class of Promotores has officially graduated! These dedicated community health workers are now equipped with the skills and tools to save lives and bring healthcare where it’s needed most. ❤️

A heartfelt thank you to the government of Cocula, the Casa de la Cultura, and the communities we served for your gracious support and partnership. And of course, immense gratitude to our Tia Foundation brigade for making another powerful program possible.

This program brings us to a monumental milestone: we’ve now reached 994,000 lives served. Only 6,000 more until we achieve our dream of 1,000,000 lives changed! 🙌

Here’s to the power of community, compassion, and collaboration. Together, we’re proving that sustainable healthcare is possible. 🌎 ❤️

Cocula Promotores Graduation - Sep. 2025

09/04/2025

🎉 Exciting News from the Field! 🎉

After a week of hard work, dedication, and learning, our incredible Promotores are graduating a day early! 🙌

To make this moment even more special, the president of the municipality will be joining us today for the ceremony. We’ll be broadcasting the graduation LIVE on Facebook (Wi-Fi permitting) at:
📍 7:00 p.m. Guadalajara time
📍 6:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time

(And remember… we’re on Mexican time, so things may run just a little behind 😉).

This is such an exciting milestone. Our Promotores will now be certified to serve their communities with the life-saving skills and equipment they’ve worked so hard to master. It has been an absolute honor to teach them, and we are so grateful for their patience, effort, and willingness to learn. 💙

We can’t wait to celebrate this moment with you. Join us live if you can!

Today was packed with impact and community!

✅ We continued offering medical consultations in Santa María, where our team shared care and a lot of laughter with the kids of the town.

✅ We were honored to be invited to a delicious birria lunch with the president of the municipality of Cucula.

✅ And to close the evening, our future Promotores received hands-on training in CPR and IV administration, skills that will save lives for years to come.

Every day in the field is a reminder of why we’re here: bringing healthcare, education, and joy to the communities that need it most.

🇲🇽✨We’re headed to Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco the first week of September!

This will be one of our final programs in the push toward 1 million lives served, and it’s shaping up to be something truly special. With our full brigade on the ground, we’ll be training Promotores, delivering life-saving care, and empowering the community with tools for lasting health.

Autlán’s beauty is matched only by its spirit, and we can’t wait to share stories from the field as we close in on a major milestone in Tia’s 20-year journey.

Today, we celebrate strength, resilience, and community.

On Cinco de Mayo, we honor the spirit of perseverance and unity that lives on in the people of Mexico. And on International Day of the Midwife, we recognize the incredible dedication of midwives who safeguard the lives of mothers and babies around the world—especially in the most underserved communities.

At Tia Foundation, we celebrate both.
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
Happy Midwives Day!
