MASKrAID® is our online auction campaign raising funds for children in the U.S. whose health care needs are suffering from the financial devastation of the pandemic.
We are launching our MASKrAID® first week of bidding on July 29th with a collection of one-of-a-kind masks created by iconic and civic-minded individuals. Through this campaign, we will raise the funds to continue to provide PPE and donate masks to vulnerable children returning to classrooms. |

UPCOMING EVENTS & MISSION TRIPS
In these trying times filled with uncertainty, we have readjusted our mission schedule out of concern for the health and wellbeing of our volunteers and medical teams, and most importantly our immunocompromised cardiac patients. Our mission to Namibia has been postponed and our upcoming trip to Peru is being rescheduled for the fall. Armenia and Tanzania programs are currently in a holding pattern. We hope to deploy our teams as soon as it is safe to do so.

INDIVIDUAL SURGICAL CARE

Training

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. |
