CAMO upgrades technology with new grant

Central American Medical Outreach Inc. announced it has received a technology grant from the Carl E. Congdon, Jr. and Susanna Congdon McIntyre Memorial Fund at Wayne County Community Foundation.

This grant enabled CAMO to complete technology upgrades at its Orrville office, replacing outdated computers used daily by staff and volunteers. These updates ensure CAMO can continue operating efficiently, securely and reliably in support of its medical and humanitarian work in Honduras.

The upgraded systems support every aspect of CAMO’s operations, from managing donated medical supplies and coordinating logistics to maintaining donor records and supporting volunteers from across the community. Reliable technology is essential to tracking large volumes of donated equipment, maintaining communication with partners in Honduras and ensuring responsible stewardship of resources entrusted to the organization.

With support for older software platforms ending in 2025, CAMO’s previous systems posed increasing security and data integrity risks. The foundation’s investment allowed CAMO to transition to secure, up-to-date systems that protect donor and volunteer information while strengthening daily operations.

“These computers are not just tools; they are foundational to how we serve,” said Kathy Tschiegg, CAMO founder and executive director. “This grant ensures our team can continue working effectively and securely, allowing us to focus on what matters most: delivering medical care, supplies and hope to those in need.
