We work closely with in-country government agencies and their local organizations to provide assistance where needed around the world.
OUR PASSION
We believe that the current pace of advancing technology is shrinking the world into a global village. Linking our
fate with people in all corners of the underserved population of the world. We believe that we should do as we say.
The little extended hands of the world’s children and elderly are everyone’s responsibility.
TEAMWORK
Our volunteer teams have made significant contributions to global communities by addressing: Medical, Dental, Vision Care, Education, Hunger, Disaster Relief and Community Development. Medical Wings International establishes long term relationships. Providing empowerment to isolated regions of the world.
