Country & Project Wish Lists
Mark boxes clearly if designated for specific programs, Health Education (Spanish or English), etc. Shipments may not arrive in time for your specific project. Take them with you.
Special Needs
We are constantly updating our “Wish List” for each country. If you have medical equipment to donate, please, DO NOT ship any equipment before receiving an OK from the MMI Pennsylvania Warehouse. Our experience has shown that equipment over 5 years old and inoperable equipment is not acceptable for donation.
