Medical Ministry International facilitates 1 and 2-week Project Teams with international volunteer participants to build medical capacity for the long term. Project teams are planned by our in-country Project Directors in response to local health care needs, following an invitation from the local community. We often partner with local churches.
Medical Ministry International encourages applications from volunteers around the world on Project Teams. Upon acceptance, all participants of a Project Team are expected to serve using their given skill sets and contribute to the programs of Medical Ministry International in an identified community.
Funding Model for Project Teams
All participants are expected to fundraise on behalf of Medical Ministry International to help raise the funds necessary to cover the budgeted costs of the Project Teams (including accommodations, meals, basic medical insurance, malpractice insurance, etc.) Air fare is not included.. Medical Ministry International’s costs per team vary significantly based on the project location, the remoteness of the project site, duration and size of the project, currency exchange rates, and more. The fundraising goal per team is shown below, along with the minimum fundraising goal for each team member. All budgeting is done in USD and converted to CAD at forecasted exchange rates through to the project dates.
Medical Ministry International’s costs to carry out our charitable programs include airfare expenses and other travel expenses required for team members to arrive at the project site. Because the costs for airfare can vary significantly, fundraising goals for airfare are not included in the funding amounts below. The minimum fundraising goal to cover airfare-related expenses will be communicated to participants closer to the project date. The travel agent will bill airline reservations directly to Medical Ministry International’s credit card. Resources to assist in fundraising efforts can be found here.
