Partner for Surgery always needs help getting the word out about the inequity of life for the Maya and the important role our programs play in improving their lives. Since our inception in 2001, over 40,000 poor Guatemalans, primarily Maya, have received medical care and health education, and over 7,000 have been given access to surgery. As the word spreads among the rural poor we serve, we need to expand our network. We rely on our volunteers and our donors to help us reach out to everyone who needs our help.

Partner for Surgery is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity and gifts to Partner for Surgery are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Non-medical opportunities

We also accept non-medical volunteers to be part of our rural medical missions. These missions spend a week working in four different communities doing patient triage, visiting patients in their homes and enjoying local cultural activities. They provide a unique look into another culture and for many participants these missions are a major highlight of their travel experiences.
