We make a difference around the world.

By helping improve the life of one child, CSI transforms families and communities around the globe.

 

Site Selection: 

Children’s Surgery International (CSI) is aware that many countries have human rights violations. When we evaluate a site, we use data available from trusted and respected sources such as the U.S. Department of State, Human Rights Campaign, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, among others. Our goals are to ensure the safety of our teams and to make thoughtful decisions that align with our organizational mission of service and teaching. As a non-political organization we serve children and families in partnership with trusted medical leaders.
