MAMA'S CLINIC

Alicia Huete, or "Mama Licha" as she is known in the community, lives in Estelí, a town in the northern highlands of Nicaragua. She has run a clinic out of her home, open 24 hours a day to everyone in her community for years. On her reputation alone, she acquired the bare essentials of what it takes to offer services from her home. Her kitchen was subdivided by a single partition where she was seeing patients often with a head lamp because the lighting was so inadequate.
