ABOUT
On Aug. 10, 2026, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia. In Cali, parts of a hospital's pediatric and neonatal wings collapsed, trapping patients inside. More than 300 people died, thousands more were injured, and hundreds of health facilities were damaged just as the need for care surged.
Project C.U.R.E. has supported health care in Colombia since 2004, sending about $1.8 million in donated medical supplies and equipment to hospitals from Riohacha to El Banco.
More than 20 years later, we're answering a new call for help. Your gift helps us send donated medical supplies and equipment to the hospitals and clinics treating the injured and rebuilding care in their communities, delivering health and hope, one container at a time.

We collect surplus supplies from U.S. hospitals, manufacturers and individuals, prepare them in our U.S. distribution centers and ship them to hospitals and clinics in more than 135 countries.
