Background

In mid-2008, PROJECT C.U.R.E. launched and branded a unique version of voluntourism through which donors intimately connect with the organization’s work, seeing first-hand its impact for communities and people in need throughout the world. Through its PhilanthroTravel division, PROJECT C.U.R.E. is providing unique travel opportunities that enable participants to fully experience a developing nation while making a direct impact on that nation’s need.

Concept

Trip-goers experience the end results of PROJECT C.U.R.E.'s work building healthcare infrastructure in the developing world, at the same time giving them a glimpse into the conditions the organization works to correct.

PhilanthroTravel is customized to the needs of business and community leaders. It provides them with a way to do good at home and through their travels, connecting their actions on a local level to humanitarian assistance globally. Participants’ program fees help to finance future deliveries of medical relief to facilities in the country visited.

Participants visit both hospitals and clinics on both ends of PROJECT C.U.R.E.’s work – prospective recipient facilities, where teams perform needs assessments, and others where the organization has already delivered supplies and equipment.
 
"A PROJECT C.U.R.E. trip gives you the ability to dig below the surface in a country - to understand a little bit what life is like for the people who live there and to help them live better."

-- Dr. Lisa Latts, Vice President, Programs in Clinical Excellence, Anthem Blue Cross


 

 

 
  
Coupling these experiences with the chance to meet senior government and corporate officials, dine with heads of state, and gain access to cultural and environmental areas not open to the general public, PROJECT C.U.R.E. PhilanthroTravel participants receive exposure to new and fascinating cultures in ways not afforded by other travel opportunities.

"Visiting a warehouse in suburban Denver filled with medical supplies and equipment is one thing, but, actually going to the hospital where the supplies are being used is unbelievable."
