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

Helping others comes naturally to Kyle Beckler. Just before his 22^nd birthday in 2022, he hopped on an airplane in Alaska, where he works the season as a ski patroller (often aiding those in trouble on the slopes) and flew thousands of miles through many airports to get to Romania. There he joined other Conscience International volunteers supporting Ukraine refugees who were fleeing a homeland war with Russia. He made three months-long trips there between 2022 and 2024, most inside Ukraine, delivering aid to the elderly and others who could not escape. “I’m ready to go anywhere. Eager to help,” Kyle said. Here is his story of how his experience has impacted his own life while giving hope and help to so many in crisis.
