Two amazing groups of volunteers on new Medical Missions

Surgical Training Mission to Ghana

Surgeons, operating room staff, and general hospital staff in Ghana are learning skills and techniques for better patient care from our volunteer team.


Seven medical and project professionals make up the team of the Humanity First USA Training & Education trip to Ghana, partnering with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Medical Association and Humanity First Ghana. They are delivering courses in Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Nerve Block, Laparoscopic Skills, and CPR.

Eight adults and one young boy stand outside a small bus. The man in the middle wears a blue humanity first vest and cap.

The team arriving in Ghana, welcomed by Jawaad Hammond of HF Ghana.

A man in shirt and tie stands in front of people seated. He gestures as he speaks to them.

One man stands with an arm outstretched. Another holds his arm up while a third gently presses on the hand.

Dr. Rafi Malik instructing course participants on wound care.

A woman wearing medical scrubs claps as four other people look at each other and smile. They are kneeling on the floor in front of human shaped dummies used for CPR training.

Gift of Health Student Mission to Mexico

The Loyola University Humanity First Student Organization is leading a Gift of Health student medical mission to Mexico.


Sixteen students from eight states completed their first day of clinic in San Cristobal de las Casas. They are joined by three volunteer U.S. general practitioners, one with a specialty in women’s health, and are partnering locally with Humanity First Mexico. 

Three female students wearing Humanity First ops and surgical face masks sit with a sign in Spanish for the medical clinic behind them.

“This is my first medical mission with HF, and I’m very excited to help people as much as possible, watch the doctors do what they do best, and also adapt to what the community in Chiapas needs from us!”


-Student leader for this mission, Fareeha Ahmad

Chairs are set up on a blacktop outside a yellow school where people are sitting and children are playing beside them.
A man with his back to the camera is wearing a blood pressure cuff and seated beside a long white table covered with supplies. People in Humanity First caps are monitoring him and supplies with other people sitting in the background.

Many patients in the region have limited access to regular healthcare, and suffer from undiagnosed chronic diseases. This healthcare mission to San Cristobal de las Casas and Chiapa de Corzo will be able to not only diagnose these patients, but initiate their treatment with several months supply of free medications.

Water for Life

“The borehole will help our schoolchildren a lot. Usually they go to fetch water during break time, but they end up coming back to school late because going to fetch water takes longer than the total break time. Last year, in fact, a student drowned in a nearby river when he went to fetch water. Since then, our community has become very serious about our water situation.”

Steven, a primary school teacher, explained his village’s situation to our Water for Life team in Ghana a few years back. Humanity First fixed the broken pump that was causing strenuous uncertainty for the villagers seeking water - they did not know if they would be able to pump water from the faulty pump that day or how long it might take them, even late into the night.

Help us help more children like Steven’s students in Western Africa. With your support, we can bring clean drinking water to communities that need it most.

Two boys pump water from a hand pump located within a short wall painted blue and white. A third younger boy puts his hand under the stream of water that is flowing into a plastic bucket.
