What We Do

Surgical Care

Our surgical missions prioritize high-impact, life-changing procedures. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), an estimated 93% of the population cannot access timely, safe, affordable surgical and anesthesia care.

This means even simple, life-saving procedures such as emergency cesarean sections, treatment of appendicitis or traumatic injuries, hernia repairs, are out of reach for the vast majority.

The huge backlog of unmet surgical need (hundreds of millions of procedures) means many people live with disabilities, untreated injuries, chronic pain, or life-threatening conditions which could be corrected if surgical care were available.

For children: the need for tens of millions of pediatric surgeries implies many lifelong disabilities, lost potential, and avoidable deaths just because of missing access.

Medical Care

Accessible, cost-effective, quality medical care for the poor in Africa is not charity; it is justice. When health becomes accessible, preventable deaths plummet and families gain a future.

In addition to medical outreaches, we establish non-communicable disease (NCD) clinics in partnership with local facilities. This allows for consistent follow-ups and medication management. Rising rates of death in resource poor areas are now attributed to NCDs.

The Hospital Project

Our ultimate goal is to establish a state-of-the-art public children's hospital in East Africa to reduce the alarming rate of pediatric mortality.

The Urgency
If current trends continue, 10 million children under the age of five will die in Africa by 2030. This is a global responsibility. Sub-Saharan Africa currently has only three public children’s hospitals to cater to approximately 450 million children.

Holistic Care

In many low-income African communities, illnesses do not occur in isolation.

Poor oral health leads to systemic infections; untreated eye problems lead to blindness that deepens poverty; unaddressed trauma and hopelessness weaken resilience; and the lack of integrated medical, surgical, dental, and spiritual services creates gaps.

Holistic care becomes essential because the social determinants of health; poverty, limited access, malnutrition, chronic stress, and lack of education, interact in ways that make isolated interventions far less effective.

Medical Education

Our medical education initiative is more than training; it’s planting a seed of hope.

By partnering with local medical and nursing schools, and bringing colleagues from abroad to teach both in person and weekly on Zoom, we are equipping the next generation of healers.

These students will go on to transform their communities in ways that ripple far beyond us. This is how lasting change begins.
