BBF works globally with partners on-the-ground to understand and help address their needs while also responding to natural and humanitarian disasters. We do this by sending relief shipments of pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and supplies, along with supporting physician led Med-Surg teams, educational programs, and projects such as mobile clinics, maternal care facilities, and solar power systems for emergency shelters.
