Between the years 2000 and 2005, eight member organizations of PROCOSI collaborated to eradicate Chagas disease, a chronic parasitic illness that attacks the heart and digestive system, and which is especially rampant in poor rural areas. This particular project attacked the issue through housing, striving to improve the physical state of people’s homes in order to make them less habitable to the vinchuca, the insect that carries the disease. Because the program focused on living conditions, other illnesses such as respiratory infections and diarrheal disease were addressed as well.
The program revolved primarily around tangible housing improvement projects and education on disease prevention. Improvements included renovations of kitchens and bathrooms, the addition of floors, and the installation of adobe stoves to mitigate the risks of open-fire cooking. Education included disease recognition, hygiene, and maintenance of healthy homes. Like in other projects coordinated by PROCOSI, the community participated on many levels. Beneficiaries not only enacted change in their own homes through construction and healthy living practices, but also worked as trainers, monitors, and managers in their neighborhoods. This involvement promoted the collective responsibility for and communal ownership of every project.
As a result of the cooperative housing project, 213,384 people in the departments of Cochabamba and Chuquisaca received information, education, and training on disease prevention. Nearly 50,000 men, women, and children accessed direct services that helped them improve their living conditions, and thus their health. These numbers were made possible through the coordination efforts, funding administration, and knowledge exchange provided by PROCOSI, as well as through the government partnership and NGO strength that is unique to this network. PROCOSI strives to produce results that are greater than the sum of its parts; its continued work will improve the health of the Bolivian people.

My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try.
