Benevolent Missions International (BMI) is a
non-profit organization dedicated to
providing needed ophthalmic care to the
underserved in many areas around the world.
Benevolent Missions International was
founded by C. Downey Price, M.D., F.A.C.S.,
and B.T. Williamson, M.Th.
During the past quarter of a century, over
1500 volunteers have worked together
contributing their time, energy, money and
expertise to bring critical medical care to
those in need. More than 40,000 men, women
and children have received care from BMI in
areas around the world where eye care was
previously not affordable.
More than 100 missions trips have been made
to Africa, Belize, Bolivia, Costa Rica, El
Salvador and Fiji.
BMI provides healthcare education and
medical/surgical clinics by:
-
Recruiting volunteer
healthcare professionals and lay
personnel
-
Providing cost free
healthcare services
-
Furnishing essential
equipment and supplies
-
Educating local
healthcare workers to medically care for
their people
-
Equipping mission sites
with educational materials for on-going
training
The goal of BMI is to ultimately develop
each site into a self-sufficient mission
with well-equipped healthcare facilities
staffed and operated by local medical
personnel and volunteers. This takes time,
manpower, dedication and funding.
BMI welcomes your support in all
these endeavors. |
