International Aid links caring people and organizations with Christian
partners worldwide, changing lives through the power of compassion.
As a distinctly Christian organization, International Aid (IA) effectively
mobilizes caring people, churches, organizations and businesses to extend
Christ’s love and mercy to those who suffer. For more than 20 years, International
Aid has provided assistance and medical support to missionaries worldwide,
and partnered with churches throughout the United States to reach some
of the most desperate countries devastated by war, famine and drought.
As a Christian organization, International Aid effectively mobilizes
caring volunteers, churches, organizations and businesses to extend Christ's
love and mercy to those who suffer due to war and displacement, natural
disasters, poverty or lack of access to health care. This year, IA
celebrated its twentieth year of providing assistance and medical support
to missionaries and health institutions worldwide.
IA embraces hospital-based clinical care as well as primary health care
and disease prevention as necessary and complementary approaches to health
problems worldwide. Reflecting that philosophy, IA has developed
the following health programs in its International Programs portfolio:
• Emergency Relief;
• Hospital Management and Support Services;
• Medical Equipment Services (includes the Lab-in-a-Suitcase);
• Christian Eye Ministry/Global Eye Care; and
• Child SWEEP (Survival, Welfare, Early Education and Protection).
In addition, IA runs a Mission Resource Center, and KIDS'HOPE USA,
a church-based mentoring program for at-risk children in the United States.
