Kathryn Tschiegg

R.N., B.B.A. - Executive Director/Founder

Kathryn Tschiegg, the founder and International Director of CAMO, first began her mission out of a duffel bag in her living room in 1992.  After many years of hard work and establishing relationships, CAMO is now a multi-million dollar international non-profit organization delivering education, medical services and community development in Honduras and also provides more than 130,000 services to those in need.

Kathy, a registered nurse, joined the Peace Corps and spent two years in Honduras working in a public hospital. After witnessing two years of preventable deaths, she returned to the U.S. ready to put the experience behind her.  For the following 15 years, she worked as an emergency, trauma and surgical intensive care nurse at Aultman Hospital. During this time she was recognized as employee of the year and also received the outstanding alumni award.  However, the memories of Honduras continued to follow her and she became determined to develop a system that would deliver sustainable quality care to the poor of Central America. She returned to college for her business degree and upon completion, she founded CAMO and incorporated it as a 501(c) 3 in May 1993.

Kathy’s tireless work has earned her several awards and recognition. She was awarded the Outstanding Medical Professional of the Year by the Stark County Medical Associations–the first ever nurse to receive this honor. In addition, she has received two Paul Harris Awards from Rotary International and has been recognized by Peace Corps for her dedication to development work.  She also received recognition by the First Ladies of Honduras, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Labor and the Congress of Honduras. Additional awards include the 2009 Athena Award and 2010 outstanding Alumni Award of all Graduating Classes of Orrville High School.
