BRINGING CARE TO KIDS IN NEED
Join Us to Make a Difference
Imagine a child once struggling to breathe who can now run, jump, dance and play with other kids. Through a strategic partnership with Gift of Life International, Chadasha funds lifesaving heart surgeries for kids in poverty. In each of the countries where we focus our work – Bolivia, Dominican Republic and Guyana – our volunteer medical teams have doubled or tripled the number of pediatric heart surgeries performed each year. Join our work by donating or volunteering. Imagine the children you can help save.
CHADASHA’S IMPACT
SO THE BLUE AND BREATHLESS CHILD CAN RUN AND NOT GROW WEARY
BRINGING CARE TO KIDS IN NEED
Saving Lives for Less
Our young patients receive care at no charge to them or their families. Our volunteer teams perform surgeries at less than 1 percent of what pediatric heart surgery would cost in a U.S. hospital. Our cost per patient is about $1,700. Imagine saving a child’s life for only $1,700!

BUILDING SKILLS TO SAVE MORE LIVES
Training Local Medical Teams
While visiting each country, our volunteers train local medical staff. Now local doctors are performing more surgeries – and more complicated surgeries. Local nurses trained by our nurse educators are caring for children in cardiac critical care units that we have helped fund and equip. Imagine taking more and more kids off waiting lists and giving them healthy, full lives with their families.
