OUR MISSION

Provide repeated pediatric care to communities that face significant barriers to receiving treatment.

Our unique approach ensures that the communities we serve experience a lasting impact.

OUR PROCESS

DEVELOP

The first step in our process is to develop a plan that addresses the community's specific needs. We do this by communicating directly with local leaders and families, establishing a relationship of trust from the beginning.

BUILD

With a foundation set, we then focus on building our support, following through on our plans, and seeking out further ways to improve the overall health of the community. 

ESTABLISH

Ultimately, we aim to establish sustainable healthy living practices by educating the community and providing them with the resources they need to eventually become self-sufficient.

OUR COMMUNITIES

We currently serve nine communities in two countries.

Within these communities, we are committed to building relationships that last. To make an impact, we get to know each community’s unique challenges in order to best serve them. We treat the same families and work with the same community leaders to make sure that the work we do is built upon during each service trip. 

OUR PROOF

According to a recent survey, 100% of our previous volunteers reported feeling more inspired, refreshed, and passionate about returning to work and life after a trip.
