THE NEED:
Congenital heart disease (CHD) causes the death of thousands of children in developing countries each year. Heart defects are the most frequent congenital defect. The frequency of heart defects is 8 out of every 1000 children born in the world. Congenital heart disease can be as high as 20 out of 1000 in some populations. While vast resources have been expended in the West to treat these children, most developing world countries lack a comparable infrastructure. In some places the doctors and hospitals are not trained and equipped to perform even basic heart surgeries.




OUR MISSION:
We sponsor two children per month for open heart surgery. As we cultivate relationships with these children and their families our initial focus and goal is to love them unconditionally. 
We also have the opportunity to watch new life begin through the physical changes a life saving heart surgery brings.
