Our Story
A dream that became reality
In 2022, God opened the door for a dream to become reality. What began as a vision to serve individuals with disabilities in central El Salvador became ClÃnica Manos que Ayudan—a place where compassionate healthcare and the love of Christ come together.
Located in the city of Cojutepeque, the clinic was made possible through God’s faithfulness and the generosity of countless individuals who shared the desire to serve those who often have little access to rehabilitation services or medical care.
Today, A.B.L.E. Ministries partners alongside C.A.R.E.S. to support this ministry through mission teams, medical and rehabilitation services, wheelchair distributions, volunteer training, and Gospel-centered outreach.
More than a Clinic
Manos que Ayudan is more than a rehabilitation clinic.
It is a place where healing begins, families find encouragement, and every person is treated with dignity because they are created in the image of God.
Compassionate Healthcare
Children and adults receive physical therapy, nursing care, rehabilitation services, mobility support, and personalized treatment designed to improve their quality of life.
A Home for Families
Many families arrive carrying not only the challenges of disability, but also poverty, isolation, and uncertainty. Here they find friendship, encouragement, prayer, and people who genuinely care.
Hope in Christ
While we strive to meet physical needs, our greatest desire is that every individual and family would experience the eternal hope that is found in Jesus Christ through the Gospel.
A Community of Love
Whether celebrating birthdays, sharing meals, praying together, or simply listening to someone’s story, our desire is to reflect the love of Christ in every interaction.
How we serve
Therapy & Rehabilitation
Providing physical therapy, nursing care, rehabilitation services, mobility support.
Wheelchair Ministry
Every wheelchair is carefully fitted to meet the unique needs of each recipient.
Through mission teams of therapists, mechanics, and trained volunteers, we provide custom seating, mobility equipment, wheelchair maintenance, and professional training for local therapists.
In 2024, A.B.L.E. Ministries distributed more than 150 custom-fitted wheelchairs free of charge to children and adults throughout El Salvador.
In February 2027, we look forward to returning to provide another 100 custom-fitted wheelchairs, continuing our commitment to restoring mobility and independence.
Family Support
Supporting parents and caregivers through practical assistance, emotional encouragement, counseling, and prayer.
Church Partnerships
Working alongside churches throughout El Salvador allows us to reach more families with compassionate care and the Gospel. Through these partnerships we serve communities, encourage local believers, and bring hope to children and adults affected by disability.
Mission Teams
Each year volunteers from the United States serve alongside Salvadoran staff through therapy clinics, wheelchair distributions, construction projects, children’s ministry, evangelism, and community outreach.
Beyond the Clinic
More than a rehabilitation center, Manos que Ayudan is a place where families find compassion, encouragement, and hope. Through home visits, educational support, church partnerships, mobility assistance, and community outreach, we continue walking alongside those we serve—meeting practical needs while pointing every heart to the lasting hope found in Jesus Christ.
