Here are some of the other organizations that SRW works with in order to provide services and supplies.
Cornerstone Alliance Navigators and Med (CAN)4417 Robertson RoadMadison, WI 53714 Mission Statement Our mission is to advocate for the rights of the Fatherless by promoting best practices, information sharing, and investment in superior long-term outcomes in orphan care. Four Areas of Orphan Care: 1. Family Reunification 2. Adoption 3. Foster Care 4. International Family-Based Residential Care CAN’s design is alliance creation and navigation, as well as information sharing in order to ease the financial burden and promote intellectual capital among organizations. Vision Through promoting and sharing best practices among childcare organizations and advocates, all sectors involved with caring for the Fatherless will benefit. CAN, joining efforts with its partners and members, will effectuate higher standards in orphan care, and as a result: • Donors will have the certainty of contributing to well-managed and transparent organizations effecting higher impact outcomes in the lives of the Fatherless; • Orphan care partners & members worldwide will use family model programs to restore families to the Fatherless and society, thereby helping to end cycles of broken families, orphans, exploitation of children, and economic distress on society; • Governments will be more effective and efficient in their establishment and implementation of laws regarding child welfare, which in effect will establish higher standards of orphan care and decrease the probabilities of continual cycles of destruction; • The dignity and rights of the Fatherless will be respected; generations of orphaned children will regain families, and will experience and recognize God's love within them and in their lives. In order to fulfill and perpetuate CAN’s mission in a sustainable fashion, Med-CAN was developed. CAN receives surplus medical equipment and supplies from various hospitals, clinics, distributers, and individuals. These materials are shipped directly to developing countries for hospital furnishing or to organizations performing medical missions. There is no charge for the items but we do ask for a 5-10% donation to cover administrative and operating costs. Equipment that is too technologically advanced for developing countries is resold. Revenue generated through Med-CAN permits investment in all four areas of orphan care, particularly international family-based residential care. Such opportunities include financial support of start-up orphanages, orphanages transitioning into family models, and special projects. Furthermore, Med-CAN leverages medical services and advocacy for the Fatherless. Through Med-CAN, we are seeking mission and procurement partners in the medical field that, while holding true to their mission, also leverage support for the underprivileged. By promoting each other’s organizations, new partnerships will be created, as well as opportunities for improved medical services and better-quality care for the Fatherless and disadvantaged children. Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach4939 LaVerna RoadP.O. Box 1665 Springfield, IL 62705 Mission Outreach was organized in 2002 as a humanitarian effort, working with healthcare organizations to recover and responsibly redistribute medical equipment and supplies to people in need around the world. President/CEO Bruce Compton had experienced the challenges associated with equipment redistribution firsthand. As the Director of Administration and Finance for a rural Haitian clinic that served 200,000 people, he had received countless donations of supplies that were unusable because they either did not fit the needs of his center or were inoperable. With no mechanism in place in Haiti to pass on or dispose of the unused items, receiving donations often became more hardship than help. Today, Mission Outreach distributes more than $2 million in surplus equipment and supplies each year, with accountability measures in place to ensure appropriate distribution. Bruce Compton is still at the helm and, while the organization officially incorporated as a separate entity in 2006, its mission clearly continues the tradition that began when the Hospital Sisters came to Illinois from Germany to begin their Midwest healthcare ministry. Today, Mission Outreach works with the 13 hospitals of Hospital Sisters Health System, along with two additional health systems and more than 20 individual hospitals throughout Illinois and Wisconsin. During FY 2007, Mission Outreach achieved: Increased access to quality health care in more than 25 countries around the globe. Distribution of more than 400,000 pounds of medical equipment and supplies, valued at more than $2 million, to healthcare institutions throughout the world. Prevention of more than 670,000 pounds of usable surplus from ending up in landfills and salvage yards in the US. Providence World Ministries
Alfredo Cerrato, President & Executive DirectorPO Box 50413 Nashville, TN 37205-0413 Ministers to and advocates for orphaned children and widows. They seek to establish innovative, culturally appropriate communities of care for orphans and widows, while advocating for them among governments, society, and the church. PWM has a clinic with two operating rooms on their site for the orphanage. SRW is able to completely furnish this clinic with all equipment and supplies to make it an operating facility where medical teams and local Honduran doctors will be able to make use of the facility to help Hondurans with their surgical needs. SRW is able to furnish everything from doors and sinks to anesthesia machines and operating room tables and sterile gloves and hospital linen and supplies. Truly a collaborative effort! Asociacion Juan Pablo MagnoLurín - Lima (16), PerúAsociacion Juan Pablo Magno, Lurín, Peru, a mission of the Diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Asociacion Juan Pablo Magno was founded in March of 1986 when Father Jospeh Walijewski, of the Diocese of La Crosse, saw a better future for orphaned and abandoned children. Now over 20 years in existence, the orphanage uses the famous Girls & Boys Town Program from Boys Town, Nebraska. The management, as well as the children's health, happiness, and behavior, make Asociacion Juan Pablo Magno a leader in childcare services with at-risk youth in Peru. A part of the outreach at Asociacion Juan Pablo Magno is assisting with the health of children of Peru who are not orphans but in need of medical care unavailable to them. SRW has assisted with that effort since our beginning by taking a medical/surgical team yearly to Lima, Iquitos, and Arequipa, Peru where our team provides eye surgeries, plastic surgeries, ENT surgery and eye prosthetic care and services to the children of Peru. Several missions have also included eyeglass missions where thousands of eye exams were accomplished and appropriate glasses provided on each mission. While working closely with the staff of Asociacion Juan Pablo Magno and with the support of the Diocese of La Crosse and others SRW has been able to provide services to hundreds of Peruvian children who would otherwise never receive that care. Our Collaborative efforts provide not only that care and services but much needed equipment and supplies to the institutions we work in while in Peru. This very successful collaborative effort crosses countries, cultures, and languages. |
