Welcome to the
Medical Benevolence Foundation website


For over 40 years, The Medical Benevolence Foundation (MBF) has worked to provide hope and healing to those most in need. Working with our partners, MBF supports healing ministries in more than 100 hospitals and clinics throughout the world. Our work includes:

Funding
MBF Provides crucial funds needed to give medical care to the needy. These funds also help build, maintain, and operate hospitals in some of the world's most impoverished nations and communities. Through your gifts, MBF contributes to the fight against diseases of poverty, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and malnutrition.

Medical Supplies
MBF works with its partners to fill cargo containers with surplus donations of medical supplies and equipment, which are then sent to a wide variety of desperate facilities around the world. MBF also works hard to insure these supplies arrive in safe hands and are put to good use to help those in need.

Volunteers
Through an international short-term volunteer (ISTV) program and other partner programs, MBF is able to recruit healthcare professionals and other volunteers to save lives in developing nations where such workers are often in short supply.

Community Development
MBF goes even further than immediate healing needs by working toward long term lasting changes that effect whole communities. This includes community health programs, helping to train indigenous healthcare workers and personnel, education programs on disease prevention and nutrition, and more.

Awareness
Domestically MBF works to inform donors of the great needs around the world and how they can be a part of this exciting work. MBF also reports back with mission interpretation on the fruits of your gifts, the lives saved and transformed, and the progress being made through this ministry.
