The medical clinic was previously run by the manna project but because of the unrest in nicaragua they decided to shut down the clinic in june. Austin samaritans, which supported the manna project clinic, was able to work with amos to take over the running of the clinic in july. The residents of the community around the clinic are mainly made up of families that were displaced by flooding of lake managua or moved out of la chureca ( the managua municipal dump) when it closed to families that were living in the dump. The clinic provides general medical care and obstetrics/gynecological services to the impoverished residents. The clinic also provides nutritional programs to young children and pregant women. Since july the clinic has had a total of 1,573 office visits. 489 of those visits were for children under 5 years. The clinic also had a total of 315 gynecological services with 18 prenatal check-ups. They also had 192 consultations with chronically ill patients.

The girls' needs with respect to medical care, psychological care, spiritual care, and education are addressed. The girls continue to maintain contact with their families. The other program is club esperanza. Club experanza serves children in barrio villa guadalupe providing pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes as well as tutoring for elementary school students.
