Doctors and consultants
General medicine, paediatrics, ophthalmology, dermatology and orthopaedics are the specialties a camp needs most. A single day given is a district covered.
The medicine is fundable. The hands are not.
Every deployment is capped by how many trained people can take a day away from their own work. If you are one of them, we have a district waiting.
Who we need on a deployment
You do not need previous field experience. You do need to be able to work a long day in heat, in a room with no air conditioning and a queue that does not shorten.
Nurses and paramedics
Triage, dressings, observations and the entire flow of a camp. Nothing runs without this and it is the hardest role to fill.
Pharmacists
Stock planning, dispensing and counselling patients who have never been told how to take a course of antibiotics properly.
Students
Registration, crowd flow, translation and assisting clinicians. You will be given real responsibility and you will be supervised properly.
How joining works
Three steps, no application form, and no waiting list.
- 01
Send a message
Tell us your profession, your city and roughly how much time you can give. WhatsApp is fastest.
- 02
Briefing
A coordinator walks you through what a deployment involves, what to bring and what the district you are going to actually needs.
- 03
First deployment
You go out with an experienced team. Nobody is sent into a district alone on a first visit.
Partner with us
The organisations below shorten the distance between a donation and a treated patient more than any amount of marketing does.

Accept surgical referrals from Save Vision, or release clinical staff for scheduled deployment days.

Host a camp, identify the households that need rations, and give the team a place to work from.
Companies and foundations
Fund a full deployment or a season of one programme, and receive the delivery record for it.
