“ Before Passion to Heal SM , doctors and medical staff at Baraka Hospital were under real pressure to educate, diagnose and treat skin diseases and conditions. These trips bring American health professionals to work with us to provide the much needed care and expertise to marginalized communities in rural Kenya and India. This is why trip after trip, we have local community members traveling hundreds of miles, lining up to seek the services offered by our volunteer dermatology professionals.” Kenya Health Director, WE Charity

“ It was such an amazing experience. I felt such a strong sense of purpose while seeing patients at the clinic, where I was reminded of why I went into medicine in the first place. The true need for medical care at Baraka clinic compared to what we typically deal with in the US was so striking. I really felt like I was doing something.

It is an incredible program, linking medical providers, patients and people across different countries and cultures.” Passion to Heal SM program participant
