Panama Health Project: June 2012

About the Panama Health Project

The Panama Health Project (PHP) is a small Canadian organization which is trying to make a difference in the "forgotten city" of Colon, Panama.

Colon has numerous problems which include violence, poor education, high crime rate, and social injustices which include gender and racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, broken homes, hunger and malnutrition.

The PHP works in two local groups:

The Pastoral Penitentiary Group supports the prison population of Colon. Fr. Alan McLellan, the prison chaplain works tirelessly for the rights of the men and women incarcerated. PHP assists by obtaining medicines for the treatment of the prisoners.

MUCEC/NICEC
Mujeres/Ninos Colonenses en Camino
Women/Children of Colon Walking Together, is a centre which provides women and children with ongoing formation as well as workshops to assist mothers in their personal development and to improve their chances of being able to provide for their families.
