empowerment for rural coastal communities

While medical missions, whether secular or religious, are appreciated,  many community members note that the aid goes away when the mission ends.  Thus, with the best of intentions, these missions are only serving as band-aids when what is needed is a cure.  We believe that the community itself can be the cure when provided with training in how to address community issues.  That is where we come in.

Seraphim International is a team of professionals with extensive experience in education and training.  We train the trainers within a community so that they can pass the lessons on to others so that our influence lasts long after we have departed.    Our team has experience in:

• Community-oriented frontier medicine
• Development of off-the-grid sanitation systems
• Culturally-relevant Health Education.       
• Disaster preparation, ,mitigation and relief

With over a decade of experience with frontier logistics and rural capacity, we understand that it can be impossible for some communities to host a team while continuing to provide for themselves.  We eliminate these issues by being self-contained, providing our own lodging and logistics aboard purpose-built vessels.  With Sails, hybrid drives and extensive solar, these craft are able to meet the teams needs without negatively affecting the environment.
