Check out our 2020 Annual Report.  During a very difficult year for many, support from our generous donors and volunteers still enabled:

29 volunteers to travel overseas and perform

1,028 patient consultations, and

219 surgical procedures, and provide training to

209 medical professionals.

We shipped $1,052,298 worth of donated medical equipment and supplies in two sea containers and six air freight pallets, expanded our Scholarship Program to support 13 trainees, and completed one infrastructure project in Madagascar.

Thank you to all our supporters – you have contributed to another very successful year of assisting us to improve the health and lives of people in East Africa.  Although our plans were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and overseas trips were suspended in March, we were still able to provide support, and build capacity and sustainability in the communities in which we work.

Thanks to Becky and Ray at Chil3 for the awesome pro bono designing/publishing, and Peter and the team at Snap Print & Design West Perth for another great print job.
