Promoting health and healing through life-saving care for children suffering with congenital heart defects.

BRINGING CARE TO KIDS IN NEED

Gift of LIfe International

The Chadasha Foundation, in partnership with Gift of Life International, provides life-saving surgeries to children with congenital heart defects at clinic sites in Guyana, Bolivia and Dominican Republic. Our teams train local medical staff so they can continue this work themselves, and we strive to enhance onsite space and equipment. When there is a need, we assist patients and their families with travel expenses to reach clinic sites.

So the Blue and Breathless Child Can Run and Not Grow Weary

Our Mission

In short, our singular focus is on providing treatment to children who have congenital heart disease — on affording them the opportunity to run, play, learn, grow with their families and build healthy, meaningful lives.
