Purpose

Women Physicians & Dentists in Christ organizes mission trips to help women and orphans around the world. These trips offer participants an opportunity to make a difference in 1) the lives of girls and women caught in human trafficking—addressing their physical, spiritual, economic and educational needs; 2) orphan care trips to Zambia, where there are over a million orphans and very few organized orphanages; and refuge care trips, where female providers are essential in order for women and children to come for care.
