Our Mission
Cape Cares is a United States nonprofit humanitarian organization based in Massachusetts. We maintain no religious or political affiliation. We deliver high quality community-based care to people living in rural Honduras, including primary medical care for acute and chronic conditions, preventative care, urgent and emergency care and dental services including preventive and restorative treatment along with health education and training for the local communities.
Together, we can make a difference!

Cape Cares, committed to serving underserved communities, focuses on the critical and life-changing work in the dry corridor of southwest Honduras. This region grapples with limited access to medical resources and the harsh effects of prolonged drought, resulting in increased health issues and inadequate resources for care. Your support directly impacts countless lives, benefiting individuals and families alike.

A Community Health Center Building in El Rodeito
This project aims to complete the construction of a new community health center in the rural Honduran village of El Rodeito. The goal is to develop necessary infrastructure for healthcare services, including Primary Care, Maternal Child Services, and Dental care, provided free of charge to the community. Cape Cares has been bringing medical and dental brigades to this region for over 25 years, yet we are in desperate need of clinic building infrastructure in order to properly serve this area.
