Mending Kids: Providing Life-Saving Surgical Care Worldwide
Mending Kids is a non-profit organization committed to providing free, life-saving surgical care to children worldwide. Since its inception in 2005, Mending Kids has improved the health of thousands of children in 74 countries, including the United States. Their work is centered on addressing health inequity and building medical sustainability in communities around the globe.

Programs and Missions
Mending Kids operates various programs and missions aimed at providing underserved children access to vital surgical care. They deploy medical volunteers to developing countries, conducting missions to mend children in need of life-saving surgeries. In addition, they refer children unreachable through overseas missions to partner hospitals in the US or abroad that meet stringent requirements for the care they need.

Improving Lives and Building Medical Sustainability
Beyond providing immediate surgical care, Mending Kids is dedicated to fostering medical sustainability within the communities they serve. Their Training, Research, and Innovation program (TRI) facilitates knowledge exchange through hands-on training, technological advancements, and virtual symposia, elevating the standard of pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative care.

Training Local Surgical Staff
One of Mending Kids' key missions is to equip local surgical staff with the skills and knowledge needed to create sustainable programs. Mending Kids supports its international mentees by offering observerships, medical conferences, and financial support for local surgeries. This approach ensures that the communities they serve continue to benefit from high-quality healthcare long after the medical mission is completed.
