VIDA

Serving underprivileged communities in Latin America since 1991

VIDA provides underprivileged Latin American communities with medicines, medical supplies and equipment donated to them by area hospitals, clinics and individuals. Through such donations VIDA provided care for over 4 million people in under-served communities throughout 12 Latin American and Caribbean countries.

In partnership with other US-based humanitarian non-profits, to date they have shipped over 325 ocean containers of medical relief worth over $210 million. In 2010, VIDA shipped 32 containers. Through a network of doctors, nurses, and medical facilities, VIDA is able to distribute medicine and medical supplies to the most remote areas in a short period of time.

Thousands of tons of medical supplies and equipment go to waste every year in the U.S. In cooperation with over two hundred medical facilities and personal donations, VIDA diverts tons of unused medical supplies from landfills to save lives in Latin America.

Medical Professionals from the US, France, and Canada travel to Latin America to treat patients as well as provide practical instruction in: respiratory therapy, reconstructive surgery, dermatology, anesthesia, and more.
