What's Happening Now

Increasing turmoil in many of the countries where Conscience International has worked over the past 40 years makes our work more difficult.  Yet we continue to field teams of aid workers and medical volunteers in some of the world’s neediest and most troubled spots.

Because HEAL AFRICA Hospital in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) needed an AED (automatic external defibrillator) with user instructions in French, Conscience International's Medical Director, Dr. Gail Anderson, hopped on a plane in Tennessee, flew to Paris to find a supplier, searched several days for the right model, bought it, then flew eight hours overnight for delivery in Kigali, Rwanda, where it would be transported by road to DRC.

Our volunteers are delivering healthcare, poverty alleviation, and educational programs where needs are most acute. These emergencies are clearly happening RIGHT NOW.

In the town of  Parakou, Benin, West Africa, twenty colorfully-dressed widows met on a bright May day for a two-day training course on— animal husbandry!  Specifically, on how to raise, breed, and care for goats, a new program funded by Conscience International to give these ladies a way to support themselves and their families.    

Obtaining and carrying equipment and supplies into villages far removed from hospitals or clinics is a logistical ordeal for the medical team

Your contributions give hope to hopeless and helpless people in some of the darkest, most dangerous, and most critically needy places in the world
