Mission Statement
Mending Kids gives sick kids life-saving surgical care while advancing education and training towards medical self-sufficiency in their communities.
About This Cause
Mending Kids International provides life-changing surgical care to children worldwide. For over 20 years, children have received corrective and transformational surgeries that have given them another chance at a longer, healthier life. Most of the surgeries performed are for congenital heart defects, orthopedic abnormalities and cranial facial deformities. Since 2005, Mending Kids has provided surgeries to over 5600 children from 78 different countries, including the United States. Through four core programs, Mending Kids continues to inspire a global movement of healing children around the world and raising awareness of the global burden of pediatric surgical conditions. From Los Angeles to Mongolia, from Tanzania to Peru, thousands of children are now enjoying mended lives. Individual Surgical Care: International Our International Surgical Care: International program allows kids to travel with a family member to trusted partner hospitals in India, Israel, and Canada to receive complex surgical care they could never receive in their home countries. Individual Surgical Care: U.S. Children with greater surgical needs, requiring more complex care, are flown to the United States for surgery. Throughout their stay, they are nurtured and cared for by a local loving host family. U.S. Hometown Missions Our expanding U.S. Hometown Missions across the nation provide free surgeries to kids from under-served communities and those who have been denied coverage from their government and/or private insurance. Overseas Surgical Missions Volunteer surgical teams are deployed throughout the world via our Overseas Surgical Missions program to provide quality surgical care, train surgical providers, advance surgical knowledge and information translation, and foster local capacity building and self-sufficiency. Our Training, Research and Innovation department uses research to inform decision-making and program design, advocates for greater prioritization of pediatric surgical care in the global health arena, and strategically plan for the future of the organization. We are committed to expanding our reach to bring hope, greater love, and greater mending to our world’s most precious resource, our children.
