Education & Training
Part of Everything We Do
CAMO is setting a new standard for health care professionals in Honduras. When CAMO establishes a service, improves a facility or installs new equipment, education and training are always part of the process. CAMO is the sole National Training Center for the American Heart Association in Honduras and is the country’s leading provider of health and safety courses. Each year, more than 1105 Honduran professionals participate in CAMO-facilitated training and education programs.

Medical Training
CAMO strengthens healthcare by investing in the professionals who remain in Honduras. Through CPR, emergency care, nursing protocols, ultrasound, specialty training, and long-term counterpart relationships, knowledge stays in the country and continues saving lives
IMPACT
Teacher Training
A strong teacher can influence generations of children. CAMO equips rural educators with practical teaching methods that strengthen reading, comprehension, critical thinking, and classroom engagement.
IMPACT
Community Education
CAMO brings practical, lifesaving knowledge directly into communities. Healthcare professionals, students, employees, and community members receive training in CPR, emergency response, prevention, and other skills they can use immediately.
IMPACT
Literacy Programs
For children in rural Honduras, learning can be limited by far more than a lack of books. CAMO combines textbooks, reading activities, teacher support, and vision, hearing, dental, and nutrition screenings.
IMPACT
Student Development
CAMO helps students move beyond the classroom by connecting education with practical experience, mentorship, professional skills, and service. Whether preparing future healthcare professionals, strengthening university programs, or helping young people develop workplace skills.
IMPACT
The goal is the same: equip students to become capable professionals and leaders who strengthen their own communities.
Trade Schools
A marketable skill can change the direction of a life. CAMO’s partner Trade School prepares students for employment, entrepreneurship, and greater economic independence through hands-on technical education. The construction of the adjacent women’s shelter by way of an adjoining door also allows recovering women to access trade courses as well. Such education empowers women to support themselves, strengthening them to escape their situations of domestic violence
