What Happens to Donated Supplies?

Volunteers sort and pack donated supplies into suitcases.

Travellers then carry those suitcases to their destinations. These travellers include tourists, medical and faith missionaries, and community development volunteers.

Each suitcase contains a letter in the recipient’s language explaining that the traveller is delivering the contents to a medical facility. The medical professional who receives the supplies signs a copy of the letter, which the traveller brings home as proof of delivery.
