Medical
Missions wants all of its mission projects and programs to
have a significant and lasting effect. In order to accomplish
this, Medical Missions carefully chooses sites that exhibit
profound needs but are located in a safe environment for travelers.
The goal is to create, in concert with the local people, infrastructure
and programs that can be life changing and self-sustaining.
This is accomplished through careful and thoughtful planning
that involves the utilization of diverse groups of volunteers.
Medical Missions has accomplished every goal and completed
every project by following a well designed and structural
approach as follows:
Step
1: We visit the site and assess the needs in conjunction
with the local people and their leaders.
Step 2: The needs are then prioritized and the projects
are selected for funding.
Step 3: Medical Missions develops a master plan, prepares
working drawings and estimates the cost of the projects.
Step 4: An agreement is drawn with the community, which
outlines the responsibilities and commitments of each party.
Step 5: Medical Missions does its fund raising and
organizes professional and volunteer personnel to build the
projects and accomplish the goals set forth in the community
agreement.
Step 6: Volunteer groups from the USA are brought to
the mission site under the direction of Medical Missions.
These volunteers work with the local people to build the projects
and develop relationships that allow mutual support and cultural
and spiritual interaction.
Step 7: When the projects are completed, Medical Missions
establishes an Advisory Board and implements a long-range
plan for sustainability.
