Nursing Beyond Borders exists to improve the lives of children through preventative disease education and well-child exams.  


While our team trips were paused in 2020 due to Covid we were still able to provide follow-up care to children in Cambodia, and extend our reach to create partnerships and plans in Africa.  Some of these partners include WAHEF ( West African Health and Education Foundation) and CTN (Clothe the Naked).  WAHEF and CTN have existing outreaches to multiple villages and schools throughout Ghana, but lack the proper medical support that NBB hopes to deliver.  We are sending individual nurses to these villages to provide exams to all the children.  Nursing Beyond Borders covers ALL costs associated with getting them the local care they need (from local providers).  


These trips have resumed since January 2022 and we continue to raise money to fund the on-going costs associated with the much needed healthcare needs of this population.  Here is a breakdown of the costs associated with common procedures:

Dental

Filling $10

Extraction $8

Cleaning $10

Medical

Exam: $15

Labs $10

Medications $5-15

Optometry

Eye Exam: $20

Frames $25

Lenses $15-40.


Whether you donate $5 or $500 your donation will have a serious impact on the everyday lives of these children! Please join us in our quest to prevent disease before it starts!  Every little bit helps!


Sincerely,

The Team at Nursing Beyond Borders
