We Are Proud to Present Our 2021 Annual Report!

We are thrilled to share our 2021 ReSurge International Annual Report! Thanks to supporters like you and to the work of our medical partners, volunteers, and generous donors around the globe, our efforts to train the next generation of reconstructive surgical teams are having a ripple effect worldwide.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, we were one of the first organizations of our kind to swiftly transition into virtual training. Despite having to cancel all in-person programming, we were soon averaging one virtual lecture every 2.7 days. This allowed us to quadruple the number of trainings completed this fiscal year. We started new mentorship programs, established online communities, created a database of over 150 free educational lectures and publications, and we even partnered with fellow nonprofit, Ohana One, to pilot a program using surgical smart glass technology.

All these new tools and technologies will continue to multiply our impact well into the future. The work that we accomplished this year inspiring, and we are honored to share it with you!
