Of all the wonderful NGOs that I come across, I realize that I definitely do not mention them enough on this blog. La Isla Foundation is one that truly touched my heart because it works with a population that may be forgotten about without their assistance. It's mission is to help advocate rights for those that are have Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) and are out of work. The population they work with is a small village called Chichigalpa just outside of Leon.
Older age males and females engage in strenuous labor in hot climates leading to sickness. CKD is diagnosed and the access to proper treatment is near impossible. These people can not afford dialysis and kidney transplants. There is also no way to slow down the process of CKD. It leaves human beings just waiting around for death. In the last ten years, 46 percent of deaths were caused by CKD in Chichi(www.laislafoundation.org)
Unfortunately, this is happening throughout Central America, Sri Lanka, and India killing thousands of people each year. People are leaving their families behind dying too young for a disease that can be treated.
