Description:

Medical Wings International strongly believes that the current pace of advancing technology is shrinking the world into a global village, linking our fate with people in all corners of the world. The Un-served population of the world.

Looking back I can see the world is a better place thanks to the support of our many members and to the kindness of our sponsors. MWI reached out to numerous unique countries, providing care and improving the lives of their people, through medical, dental, and eye care, as well as mobilizing more than five thousand disabled people. These are the positive impacts and accomplishments Medical Wings International has achieved over the years.

Because children are the most vulnerable; MWI establishes long-term relationships around the world offering hope, healing, and emotional support. Thousands of families have been empowered by MWI volunteers that inspire opportunities to make life better for all the diverse cultures that we encounter. MWI, along with local aid and developing organizations take a full advantage of the airline industry and their gift of providing low cost transportation and local support to bring our volunteers, medicines and medical equipment to isolated regions of the world.
