THE PROJECT PERFECT WORLD FOUNDATION
Providing orthopedic surgery for children worldwide.
For every $1 donated, approximately $36 in life-changing medical treatment is provided. In addition, PPW is run by volunteer staff with no overhead cost or office to maintain so 100% of your donation will go towards our medical trips.
What We Do
We work with a highly-skilled group of health care volunteers who donate their talents to empower international pediatric healthcare providers through educational collaboration. This includes supplying medical equipment that is not otherwise obtainable. As a result of collaboration, the facilities in each country that we partner with become more self-reliant and better equipped for the long term.

Fundraising
Events
More than 200 children are screened during each orthopedic trip to coordinate surgeries for upcoming missions and provide follow-up care for previous patients.
We currently send two groups of healthcare professionals and volunteers twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. This work is made possible by your generous support, whether through monetary contributions or in-kind donations.

Why Project Perfect World
The Project Perfect World Foundation is not merely a surgical mission. Our vision is to empower international healthcare providers with education, collaboration, and infrastructure development. We leave each country that we work with more self-reliant and better equipped to care for the children in their community. Ultimately as local surgeons and healthcare workers demonstrate their competence, PPW’s involvement at the facility will decrease. PPW also supplies medical equipment that is not otherwise obtainable due to the various socio-economic issues in partnering countries. Similarly, donated equipment is serviced by PPW personnel until collaborating hospitals have demonstrated their capacity to service the equipment on their own.
Over 25 years of successful collaboration and infrastructure development sets us apart.
Project Perfect Worlds plans to continue its collaborative programs in Ecuador adding a Hip Dysplasia and Spine specific program in 2021.
PPW also plans to broaden its reach to other communities in Latin America, furthering medical education by partnering U.S. based programs with international colleagues.

Here’s What Some Of Our Doctor’s Have To Say:
Helping these children have a chance at walking, playing, being children again is important. Giving them opportunities they might not otherwise have, it is very important to all of us.
