VIDA is a non-profit organization providing dual service to both Latin America and Northern California by collecting surplus medical supplies and equipment from health institutions, diverting them from landfills, and shipping them to Latin American hospitals and clinics that rely on such donations for the provision of basic health care.
VIDA's main program is diverting medical supplies from Bay Area landfills and sending those supplies down to Latin America. Programs also include responding to disasters in the Latina American community for instance the earth quake in Ica Peru in 2007. Other programs we run include medical missions to treat people and provide practical medical instruction in cooperation with other NGO's.
