Butterfly IQ   Dulce Nombre Water Project
MHL introduced the Butterfly IQ portable ultrasound at the Children's Burn Hospital in Tegucigalpa. Since then, MHL has placed several of the units in various hospitals in Honduras. The Butterfly IQ has made, and continues to make, a major difference in the fight against COVID-19, dengue fever, and many other conditions. These are the only such units in the entire country. Your financial assistance could help us to purchase more of these extremely important units.

Water projects in a developing country that is as mountainous as Honduras can be quite difficult, especially Dulce Nombre. Dulce Nombre is a village in the Montaņa de la Flor area, home to the indigenous Tolupan. The water tank, sand, cement, and pipes had to be mostly hand carried into this remote area because there are no roads to the village. Now that the water project has been completed, the villagers have clean water delivered to them through a spigot in their yards.

The capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest meaning and significance.
