Ways to Help

Donate to the Cause

There are many ways to make a difference and support our mission! We welcome donations of medical supplies, including sutures and gloves, donated medical equipment, and financial contributions to help purchase essential supplies. If you have medical supplies or equipment to donate, we would love to hear from you.


Every dollar makes a difference. Your generosity directly supports surgical teams traveling to remote and underserved communities to provide essential, life-changing surgeries. We also partner with and support local nonprofit organizations in the regions we serve, helping strengthen communities and expand access to care.


Scenic NWSO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and eligible donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Thank you for helping us bring compassionate surgical care to those who need it most!

Mt Mulanje Trek, Malawi , Africa

This shows the stunningly scenic mountains of Mt. Mulanje, a beautiful destination in southeastern Africa. For seven days, my team and I trekked through the trails while staying in huts or camping in tents. Mt. Mulanje is known for its towering peaks up to 9,000 feet, breathtaking views, and stunning natural beauty. Every day presented its unique challenges, from steep inclines to rocky terrain to down pouring rain.  We trekked through lush forests, crossed rivers, and walked past rocky outcrops. On the third day, we trekked up to the highest peak, Sapitwa Peak. It was an incredibly challenging climb, but when we reached the summit, the view was breathtakingly beautiful and made the climb entirely worthwhile.
