All the members are volunteers; no one is a paid employee and all funds are raised by the team members. It costs approximately $1500 to send a team member on a trip, and all donations are tax deductible.
There are no paid employees and all labor, supplies and funds are donated. The organization coordinates with area hospitals, pharmaceutical representatives and local businesses to collect needed items. All supplies are brought by the team or purchased for use in the host country. MIMA is funded primarily from private individuals...your help is needed.
One cannot help but feel blessed living in a place where safe drinking water, abundant food, reliable shelter and easy access to health care are so readily available. Every year I volunteer with The MIMA Foundation I am graphically reminded of how much of our planet lacks such basic necessities. MIMA has taken me and countless volunteers to places on our globe where theses basic things are grand luxuries. It is always a rejuvenation of spirit and gratitude when MIMA provides me the opportunity to serve and assist other humans that live in such conditions merely as a result of geography. Each trip is a reminder of my vast abundance and primal desire to give back a fraction of what has been bestowed upon me. I will always be eternally grateful for given the opportunity to experience such basic service to others.
