A Healthy Partnership-Ortlieb and Concern America

The staff of the Rio Beni Health Project, a community-based health initiative located in the northwest rainforest of Bolivia, thanks Ortlieb USA for their very generous product contributions over the past 3 years. The Project provides outreach primary health care and health education to 45 isolated villages in the upper Amazon Basin, working directly with local health authorities and community leaders. Over the years 38 community health workers, or health promoters, have been trained and are responsible for much of the health care in their respective villages. Because our work is primarily outreach, we travel by river and 4WD on a regular schedule. The need for rugged and impermeable duffle and shoulder bags is great; so three years ago I contacted Ortlieb USA about the possibility of a donation of rack packs, sling-its and a number of Zip City shoulder bags. To this day we use 8-10 the medium and large rack packs for hauling our medical supplies and personal supplies by road and river. Our health promoters use the Zip Citys and small Rack Packs for their travels and medical kits.

Thanks you to Ortlieb USA for their generous donations and reduced prices. The red rack packs are now synonymous throughout the Beni Region of the rainforest with improved health care and education in areas that never before had access to it.

With friendship and gratitude.

Christopher Brady

Project Director
