In 2009, life expectancy at birth for Sub-Saharan Africa was 52.5 years; for Ethiopia it was 55.7 years.

S. America
Underserved communities in South America are in need of medical help for nearly all types of service - from vaccine provision to basic health checkups.
Unfortunately, many parts of South America continue to experience a shortage of health workers and limited access to advanced healthcare.
Thus, there are medical volunteer opportunities for any skill set in virtually every continent. Pervasive diseases such as hepatitis continue to affect villages and global awareness efforts are needed to educate communities on preventive healthcare and the spread of HIV and AIDS.
What we have accomplished:
N. America
