Mission Statement
Nursing Beyond Borders is a 501(c)3 public charity which exists to deliver healthcare and education to children and their communities on a global scale. We focus on preventing disease before it starts by sending nurses to serve in our network of partnered orphanages, shelters, underserved schools, and clinics . Through our focused healthcare initiatives, educational presentations, and partnerships with local providers we provide a sustainable model of care while empowering children to improve not only their own lives, but also to impact the lives of future generations.
About This Cause
We send teams of nurses to provide free physicals and health education to children at local NGOs throughout the world. Those nurses create databases of abnormal findings, and an individual nurse is sent to the NGO to assist in facilitating local provider follow-up. This means that if we identify a child that needs to see a dentist our individual volunteer will be able to take that child to a local dentist to get fillings. This creates a sustainable model so that even once the volunteers leave there are still providers the children and NGO can access. The majority of Nursing Beyond Border's expenses arise from the sheer cost of taking hundreds of children to local providers. While a filling may cost $10 in these countries the 500 children need 3 fillings each. We also provide supplies and medications for the children, and a small trip subsidy for the nurse volunteers that are donating their time so generously to the cause.
