Medical and Equipment Supplies

CAMO only ships clean, unexpired supplies and all donations are thoroughly inspected before being packed and sent. CAMO also establishes the true need in Honduras before sending any supplies or equipment to assure everything received is environmentally appropriate. Each year, between 6-8 40ft shipping containers are packed full in Ohio with life-saving medical supplies and are sent to Honduras.

  • 2 cloth diapers
  • 2 diaper pins
  • 1 receiving blanket (not knitted)
  • 2 infant t-shirts (not onesies)
  • 2 items such as baby lotion, baby brush, or comb (no powder)

Instructions: Wrap supplies in blanket, secure with diaper pins.

Dental kits

CAMO’s dental program serves over 26,000 children a year. Each month, CAMO sends 6 brigades to remote Honduran villages to teach children about dental hygiene and to provide yearly check-ups, cleanings, fillings and dental kits. Help equip children in Honduras with the essentials necessary for basic dental health.
