VIDA is preparing to send our first container to our Chilean partner FEDES in January 2016. The first container will carry medical supplies and equipment to benefit the numerous clinics in the suburbs of Santiago. These clinics serve some of the poorest people in the country. The value of the shipment will exceed $500,000 and included surgical kits, exam tables, hospital beds and gurneys.
This project will biuld on the success of VIDA's earlier efforts that shipped over $10 million in aid as a result of the devestating earthquake in 2012. This donation will be targeting impoverished orphanges and schools who offer the most efficent channel of distrubtion to a large number of beneficiaries.
VIDA and FEDES are planning another shipment of medical supplies in March 2016.
