About me

BBF’s mission is to help bridge the gap between aid and sustainability by supporting localized programs and providing essential resources in the areas of Healthcare, Infrastructure, Disaster Response, and Education (H.I.D.E).

We do this by sending relief shipments of pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and supplies, supporting physician led Med-Surg teams, in-country educational programs, mobile clinics projects, maternal care facilities, and solar power systems for outlying clinics and emergency shelters.
