For more than a decade, Firestone Liberia and Bridgestone Americas have stood alongside Children’s Surgery International, helping make life-changing pediatric surgical care possible in Liberia.
Through their generous support — including hospital facilities, transportation, freight, lodging, and logistics — our teams are able to work collaboratively to provide critical surgeries for children while also investing in local medical education and training that strengthens care for years to come.
We are deeply grateful for their continued leadership and commitment to the people of Liberia, and we’re proud to recognize them as a Premier Sponsor of the CSI Gala on Saturday, May 2.

A major achievement: ENT fellow Dr. Kassaw Ketemaw and other College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia. colleagues assisted in performing two ear reconstructions for the first time — 8+ hour, highly complex surgeries — under the guidance of Dr. Siva Chinnadurai.
