Description
Our calling is to serve those living in poverty by providing critical medical care and Fair Trade partnerships. We serve the people of Bolivia, the poorest and most indigenous nation in South America, and their neighbors in Paraguay.
Our vision for sustainability makes us exceptionally effective. We not only treat the poor, but also train and equip local medical personnel to better serve their fellow citizens. Thus the repercussions of our efforts last long into the future.
IN OUR FIRST DECADE...
48,000 patients, 2,300 surgeries, $13 million worth of medical supplies, medicines and equipment, 300 missioners gave $4 million in in-kind service, $375,000 in Fair Trade sales supporting Bolivian artisans.
