OUR CORE PROGRAMS

Overseas Surgical Mission

Our assembled surgical teams travel to developing countries on specialized missions to mend children in need of life-saving surgeries, and to train local surgical staff to create sustainable programs.

Hometown ​Mission

We provide outpatient surgical care to children living in the United States who do not have access to care by teaming with volunteer surgeons, nursing staff and local surgical centers. 

INDIVIDUAL SURGICAL CARE - US

Through partnerships with renowned hospitals, we bring children with complex surgical needs to the United States for treatment. While the child is here, they are placed with a loving host family that cares for all of their needs.

INDIVIDUAL SURGICAL CARE - INTL

If surgery is not possible for a child in the United States or on a surgical mission, we arrange surgeries through partnerships with local hospitals in-country or in nearby countries.

Training
Research
and
​Innovation
In 2015, the Training, Research and Innovation department was created at Mending Kids. The department promotes effective philanthropy and expands Mending Kids’ mission through research that informs decision-making and program design.

Routine community appraisals and needs assessment, evaluation of programs and partnerships, and data collection and analysis will guide the organization’s strategic growth.
​
Mending Kids is committed to conducting research and collecting data on key surgical
indicators on nearly every mission we deploy, and then using the information gathered
to monitor progress, engage communities, and inform health policies.
