Mending Kids is a non-profit organization based in Woodland Hills, CA, that provides free life-saving surgical care to sick children worldwide. Since 2005, they have mended thousands of children in 74 countries, including the US, through their overseas surgical missions and individual surgical care programs. Their mission is to address health inequity by giving underserved children access to surgical care and supporting communities to become medically self-sustaining.
Through their Training, Research, and Innovation program, Mending Kids promotes knowledge exchange, hands-on training, and cutting-edge technology to elevate the standard of pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative care. They also offer observerships, medical conferences, and financial support for local surgeries to cultivate leadership and self-sustainment in surgical care around the world. Non-medical volunteers have the opportunity to intern and travel on Mending Kids overseas missions, supporting medical professionals in delivering surgical care and often inspiring careers in global health and medicine.
