Why Deseret International? It’s simple.

For the past twenty years, we have worked to bring people dignity, mobility, and independence. We deal with the problems of the blind, the lame, and the disfigured. We heal not only their bodies, but their minds, hearts, families, and communities.

We empower skilled local doctors - doctors who know how to deal with the medical problems of club feet, cleft palates, and crossed eyes that they face in their native countries. We provide training, equipment - whatever is needed - but it is the local doctors who care for their fellow citizens - who establish not only lifelong patient care but lifelong community care. These health professionals immeasurably strengthen their communities and countries while changing individual lives.

Because we use local doctors, our patients receive the pre- and post- operative care they need to truly make your donation a success. We work hard to provide Deseret Houses for our patients - places where their families can assist them in preparing for and recovering from surgery - places where they can receive the care, rest, and nourishment they need, for as long as they need, to ensure that their surgeries are successful and their lives not marred by post-operative complications.

We are extremely efficient - we do everything possible to limit administrative costs and to use every dollar we receive for actual medical needs - and THAT is why the average cost of a surgery we perform is $25.

Please make this dream a reality for many, many more this holiday season! We urge you to go to our secure payment site and change lives. We thank you for your time and commitment to our less fortunate brothers and sisters throughout the world. Only with your help can we make this change, one life and one surgery at a time. We wish you and your family a wonderful and blessed holiday season!

In gratitude,

Your friends at Deseret International
