The Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children (FIMRC) is an amazing non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health of families in the developing world through innovative and self-sustainable health programs. In August 2018, we joined them and five Awesome Humans in Huancayo, Peru to donate scrubs, care for patients and visit clinics, hospitals, schools and an orphanage.
We met some amazing people, saw the most inspiring work and put together some quick numbers and quotes to give you a better idea of what went down.
I left Peru with a heavy-but-glowing heart and a family made of the most selfless, fearless and loving caregivers that not only changed the community, but also left changed themselves.

This trip changed the way I live in my day-to-day life.

Many medical professionals in resource-poor areas do not have access to basic medical supplies — including scrubs. Here at FIGS, we’ve built relationships with over sixty amazing organizations to make sure every doctor, nurse and technician has the workwear they need to protect themselves, their patients and provide the highest quality care possible, no matter their location or economic circumstance.
