World Pediatric Project

World Pediatric Project is a non-profit organization which connects children in Central America and the Caribbean with surgical care unavailable to them in their home countries. Vision: Every child, regardless of where they live, will have access to quality, critical care in order to live a full and productive life. Core Values: • COMPASSION: We treat the children we serve, and their families, with love, empathy and respect. • AGILITY: We are an entrepreneurial, resilient organization, quick to respond to both needs and opportunities in our environment. • RELATIONSHIPS: We value long term, mutually beneficial and respectful relationships with partners and stakeholders. • EMPOWERMENT: We believe in our ability to drive positive change to impact the lives of children, and to help other also recognize that same ability inside of them. • SUSTAINABILITY: We honor the importance of our work by focusing our resources, not just on the present, but on the long-term reliability, repeatability and distribution of our impact.
