Our mission

Connecting children with life saving care

We facilitate medical aid for children across Oceania in the form of life saving and dignity restoring surgery they cannot access in their home countries.

As a project of Rotary Clubs in Australia and New Zealand, we unite volunteers, medical professionals and communities to give every child the chance they deserve.
