SRW Accomplishments
OUR FIRST 10 YEARS — 2013
Since October 2003, SRW has shipped medical supplies and equipment to 28 different countries.
More than 350 shipments have left our docks in the last 10 years.
SRW has traveled to five different countries on two continents to conduct medical missions.
SRW has completed 23 missions since 2002. Seven different specialties have been represented in our missions: orthopedics, ENT, eye care, plastics, ocular plastics, ocular prosthetics, and dental care.
Six dental missions have been completed in Honduras, where a four-chair dental clinic is fully operational and where we can provide the same treatments as we do here in Wisconsin!
We have completed five prosthetic eye missions to Honduras. SRW has also completed five eyeglass missions, and more than 4,245 people have received services through those missions in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guinea, West Africa. More than 1,434 people have received direct services from our teams in Honduras alone since 2005.
A total of 127 different volunteer professionals have served on our SRW mission teams; 53 of them have served on more than one mission.
More than 6,000 people, primarily children, have received direct services from our teams, from Africa to Peru.
In September 2012, 148 children received services from our dental team, eye surgery team, and eye prosthetic professionals during a two-week period in Honduras.
In January 2013, our team of 18 volunteers traveled to Honduras, where 32 children had orthopedic procedures and 93 were treated by the dental team in Siguatepeque.
In October 2013, we will take a team to Honduras to perform strabismus eye surgery, provide dental treatment, and make prosthetic eyes.
We have raised more than $1.4 million in those 10 years.
The value of our donated services, supplies delivered, and supplies donated is more than $10,000,000.
SRW still has no paid staff. Everyone is a volunteer.
Thank you ALL for a rewarding and successful mission!
