Testimonials

David Bornstein- Journalist and writer of the book “How to Change the World”

“Renascer is a ‘social technology’ as powerful and life-saving as any health technology or cure that we possess. In the age of computers and telecommunications, we have to be reminded that millions of people around the world still suffer and die from the most basic causes: poor nutrition, sanitation and housing, and a general lack of information about how to manage illnesses. Human behavioral changes are the most difficult to bring about.  Renascer has demonstrated that it can effectively - and systematically - attack many of the root causes behind illness in poor communities, reducing hospitalization rates and alleviating suffering. The organization knows how to listen to its patients, how to communicate respectfully, and how to motivate people to take action for themselves and their children.  In its fifteen years, Renascer has accumulated a gold mine of practical wisdom about how to create a culture of health in a poor family. The organization is not only ethical and humane, but it is a global leader in advancing a kind of integrative and preventive health care that is needed across the world.”
