Our Partners
The core of the FACES mission is based on local sustainability. In-country partnerships are essential to what we do.
We are fortunate to have excellent colleagues both locally in the Pacific Northwest, and internationally in Peru, South America. These organizations unite to bring the best medical care possible to the most isolated families of Peru.
Program Partners
Cafe Femenino
The Cafe Femenino Coffee Project is a social program for women coffee-producers in rural communities all around the world. They work in Bolivia, Columbia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Rwanda to empower women and build social support systems that improve the economy and health of the coffee communities.
Together, FACES and Cafe Femenino conduct ‘Health Promoter Trainings’ for the women in the coffee-producing villages in Peru. Many children in these rural villages are born with clefts. Our collaboration has opened the doors for these children and given them access to surgical care.
Club de Leones- Ciudad Evocadora (Lambayeque Lions Club)
The Lambayeque Lions Club has been instrumental in making our surgical trips and follow-up missions a success. The men and women of these clubs help find, feed, and care for FACES patients and their families during mission trips. Their support makes it possible for the FACES team to continue to return to Peru with great success.
Hospital Belen de Lambayeque
Belen Hospital is a public hospital run by the government of Lambayeque. They host the annual patient evaluations and annual surgical campaign. For 7 years, FACES has partnered with Belen Hospital, who supports the campaign with medical staff, operating rooms, and medications.
Hospital Regional Lambayeque
Regional Hospital has hosted patients during the surgical campaign; many of the complex cases are conducted at Hospital Regional, a newly built hospital that provides services in over 30 specialized areas of medicine.
Colegio Médico del Péru / Medical College of Peru
The Medical Board of Peru licenses our surgeons and anesthesiologists, allowing FACES medical volunteers to enter the country and provide medical treatment.
