MEXICO
-Partnered NGOs below-
Big Heart Orphanage and Regents School | Reynosa, Mexico
This border town organization provides shelter and/or schooling to over 200 children, and their families all in need of our preventative health and education services.
We provided over 250 free physicals to these children and their families, and created databases for followup with dentists and optometrists in April 2018.
Manos De Amor | Bucerías, Mexico
This orphanage houses up to 40 children, and provides all the daily necessities including ensuring they attend the local school. We sent a team to assess the children that live here while they were attending a nearby school (see below) in April 2019.
Benito Juarez School | Bucerías, Nayarit Mexico
This school is where the Manos de Amor children attend school. They have over 200 children that we visited for health assessments, and education. We sent a long-term nurse here to follow up on our assessments from our recent team trip. October 2019
Refugio Infantil Santa Esperanza | Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
This orphanage is home to up to 40 orphans at any given time, and was in need of screenings and preventative education for their children and staff.
We sent nurses here in April 2018 to perform health assessments, and connect the orphanage to a local doctor while also creating databases of our health findings for future follow ups.
Niños Migrantes Bucerías | Bucerías, Mexico
This school has 150 migrant children in need of physicals and health prevention education. We will be sending a team of nurses to provide this care in February 2020
We will also be facilitating follow-up based on the teams findings for any dental caries and optometry exams with two volunteers in February 2020
PHILIPPINES
-Partnered NGOs below-
Bahay Tuluyan | Metro Manila, Philippines
This children’s shelter provides refuge for street kids in the ‘red light’ districts. They not only provide a place for the children to escape the drugs, and abuse of street life but provide vocational education to teach them farming and hospitality so that they can grow up to have jobs that will help keep them off the streets. They need a nurse to help with assessing the children’s health status, and facilitating healthcare follow up appointments as well as preventative disease education. An individual nurse spent over a month here providing care for these children. We would like to continue what she started with more individual volunteers- **Commitment minimum 1 month- ongoing opportunity.
GLORy reborn | Cebu, Philippines
This birthing center has helped over 3500 mothers deliver their babies. Nursing Beyond Borders is needed to help with education of the pregnant mothers, and to help at the HIV outreach areas. **Commitment minimum 1 month- ongoing opportunity
SOS Children’s Villages | Cebu & Tacloban, Philippines
These villages exist to provide a home with a ‘house mom’ to care for up to ten children. Each home is part of a larger village so that the children get to grow up in something that resembles a ‘normal life’. These villages need our nurses to perform yearly assessments on their children and facilitate local follow up with the appropriate healthcare providers. We recently provided reading glasses to the community volunteers, and first aid kits to the Cebu Village, but hope to bring more supplies with a nursing team in the future.
CAMBODIA

Feeding Dreams Cambodia | Siem Reap, Cambodia
Feeding Dreams is a Cambodian charity and a grass roots community school providing free education, school meals, and community support to over 700 poor children and families living in Siem Reap's slums. They need our nurses to come for mass assessments on their children, and to help facilitate follow up with the local providers.
We sent a team here in October/November 2019, and an individual nurse took hundreds of these children to the local dentists from January to June 2020. This is paused as of 4/2024
**Commitment minimum 1 month- ongoing opportunity.
New Hope Cambodia | siem Reap, Cambodia
New Hope Cambodia provides free education, health care, and community development service to the people of Mondul Bai. From humble beginnings as a grassroots organization, New Hope Cambodia has become an internationally respected non-government organization (NGO) supported by individuals, businesses and service organizations worldwide. They need a team of nurses as well as an individual nurse to help see the children at their school, and facilitate follow up with local health providers.

LAOS
-Partnered NGOs below-
Lao Friends hospital for children | Luang Prabang, Cambodia
Lao Friends Hospital for Children (LFHC) is an acute care paediatric hospital situated on the campus of Luang Prabang Provincial Hospital in Lao PDR. Since 2015 LFHC is dedicated to providing high-quality and compassionate healthcare to the children in remote areas of Northern Laos. A major goal of this hospital is to promote the clinical learning and professional development of the local staff such that key positions within the hospital are progressively filled by a well-trained and dedicated local workforce.
The volunteer nurse will work with the Laos and international team, with the main responsibilities being clinical supervision and clinical education of Lao nurses. The position is strongly clinical, helping provide real world application of theoretical nursing concepts and therefore requires volunteers who currently practice at the bedside or work in nursing education at their home facilities.
**Ongoing opportunity with minimum of 1 month commitment
