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.
