About us
We provide HOPE to children with heart disease and their families, EMPOWER doctors and nurses to treat children in their country of birth, build SUSTAINABLE pediatric cardiac programs in emerging countries and expand our global reach through PARTNERSHIPS with like-minded organizations, maximizing our impact.

Our strategy remains focused on the development of sustainable pediatric cardiac centers of excellence and the empowerment of doctors and nurses to treat children in their country or region of birth. Our global network of caring is comprised of 84 Gift of Life Affiliated Programs throughout the world. The majority of these programs are based in Rotary Clubs or Rotary Districts. Through our collaborative efforts, we are healing little hearts around the world who otherwise would not receive treatment. Gift of Life International and our global network of caring strive to be a beacon of hope to children with heart disease and their families. Through our initiatives, we are addressing the crisis in the world today with regards to congenital heart disease; the Number One birth defect worldwide. We believe that to truly impact the life of a child with heart disease, we must not only heal his or her heart but also help to ensure them a healthy future. We believe our Nutritional Assistance Program in El Salvador helps ensure each child treated receives proper nourishment to support recovery and healthy growth.

🌍 On this World Population Day, let's shed light on a pressing issue: 1.3 million children are born each year with congenital heart defects (CHD). Tragically, 93% of these children are born in countries that cannot provide the necessary care. Together with our global network of partners, Gift of Life International aims to bridge this gap by providing life-saving medical procedures and support to children in need. Through our collaborative efforts, we strive to ensure that every child, regardless of where they are born, has access to the vital heart care they require to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. We can make a difference. Join us in raising awareness and support for these young hearts in need. ❤️ https://lnkd.in/daywfJC #WorldPopulationDay #CHDAwareness #GiftOfLife
