Fara Foundation, an American nonprofit based in Austin, Texas is an extension of that stewardship, a bridge between the two countries, pairing international resources with the needs of Nicaraguan families and providing aid in four areas: healthcare, food assistance, education and elder care.

Fara Clinic opened in late 2010 in Matagalpa at Antiguo Edificio Rosalinda

and quickly became a healthcare hub in Nicaragua. By end of year, our then-6,000 square foot clinic was admitting 40 patients per day. By 2017, that number had more than doubled to 100 per day, with an additional 2,000 patients reached monthly through follow-up care. 

In 2025, Clínica Fara continued to serve as a vital healthcare hub in Nicaragua, providing healing, dignity, and renewed hope to thousands of families. That year alone, the clinic reached 17,680 patient charts and delivered more than 200,000 consultations, offering comprehensive wound care, specialized vascular and vein treatments, and expanded services through medical missions, including vein missions now integrated with physical therapy to support improved patient recovery. All care is delivered within the clinic by dedicated onsite teams and visiting specialists, ensuring consistent follow-up and high-quality treatment for patients who rely on Clínica Fara as a regional referral center for advanced care and diagnostics.

Clínica Fara: Care That Continues to Grow

Since opening its doors, Clínica Fara has evolved into a trusted healthcare center serving patients from across Nicaragua. What began as a modest facility has steadily expanded to meet growing demand, guided by a commitment to accessible, dignified medical care for individuals and families who might otherwise go without treatment.

Today, Clínica Fara provides comprehensive, clinic-based care supported by a dedicated onsite team and visiting medical specialists. In 2025 alone, the clinic reached 17,680 patient charts and delivered more than 200,000 consultations, offering consistent wound care, primary care services, specialized vascular and vein treatments, and preventive screenings. Expanded services through visiting medical missions now include integrated physical therapy to support improved patient recovery, ensuring continuity of care within the clinic.

Areas of Focus

While Clínica Fara provides broad medical services, several areas remain central to our mission:

  • Wound care and chronic condition management

  • Vascular and vein disease treatment, supported by specialized medical missions

  • Women’s health, including screening and early detection efforts

  • Dental care and preventive services

Care is provided on a sliding scale to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent patients from receiving treatment. For many hard-working Nicaraguans, Clínica Fara remains one of the few places where quality medical care is accessible.

Prevention and Early Detection

Preventive care and early detection have long been core to Clínica Fara’s work. Over the years, the clinic has identified and treated hundreds of cases that might otherwise have progressed into serious or life-threatening conditions. Early screening and timely intervention continue to save lives and reduce long-term health risks for patients.

Women’s health services include routine screenings and follow-up care, with referrals made when advanced treatment is required. Through consistent education and access to services, Clínica Fara has helped foster greater awareness around preventable conditions and the importance of early care.

Visiting Medical Specialists and Global Collaboration

A defining part of Clínica Fara’s impact has been its long-standing collaboration with international medical professionals and organizations. Visiting specialists work alongside onsite staff to expand services, introduce advanced techniques, and support ongoing training.

Each year, Clínica Fara hosts multiple medical missions focused on specialized care, including vascular and vein treatment. These missions take place within the clinic, strengthening its capacity while ensuring patients receive consistent follow-up care. Over time, these collaborations have contributed to treatment for thousands of patients with complex conditions who might otherwise have had limited options.

Through these partnerships, Clínica Fara continues to serve as a referral point for surrounding communities and facilities that lack advanced diagnostic tools or specialized care.

A Bridge Between Local Need and Global Support

Clínica Fara exists to bridge local medical needs with global resources—bringing together skilled professionals, essential equipment, and compassionate care under one roof. While the clinic’s reach has grown, its purpose remains the same: to serve every patient who walks through its doors with dignity, respect, and quality care.

With the support of donors, partners, and medical professionals from around the world, Clínica Fara continues to meet today’s needs while preparing for the challenges ahead.
