Our team has begun their long journey home from The Gambia. We’re proud to share the incredible work they accomplished with our partners. In total, 26 children received life-changing surgical care — 11 general surgery cases and 15 urology cases.
Beyond the scheduled cases and hands-on teaching, the team showed exceptional dedication: team medical lead, Dr. Karen Resch evaluated many walk-in patients and even connected one child with another international surgical team that happened to be in town. Our clinicians also supported their Gambian colleagues with several urgent pediatric cases.
Thank you to everyone who supported Give to the Max Day yesterday. Your generosity helped raise nearly $25,000, including an increased $10,000 match — CSI’s strongest Give to the Max Day ever. We’re deeply grateful for this incredible community.
When we work together, impact like this becomes possible — in The Gambia and beyond.

Children in resource-limited communities need the chance to grow, to eat, to speak, and to live without pain or embarrassment — to simply be children.
Today on Give to the Max Day, YOU can help make that possible.
A generous volunteer traveling to Liberia with CSI in January 2026 is matching every dollar up to $5,000.
That means your gift today brings twice the healing. Twice the hope.
💛 Donate now and change lives, one child at a time.

Your generosity is changing lives in The Gambia — and today and tomorrow your donation can go twice as far.
It’s been a busy Tuesday and Wednesday for our team: 12 more surgeries completed, along with targeted medical training including essential education on colostomy bag care.
This is the heart of CSI’s mission: care and capacity building, side by side.
But none of this happens without YOU. Donors are the driving force behind every surgery, every training session, every parent who breathes easier because their child finally received the care they needed.
Tomorrow is Give to the Max Day — every gift made now through tomorrow will be doubled thanks to a $5,000 match from a volunteer traveling with CSI to Liberia in January. That means twice the surgeries, twice the training, twice the lives changed.
Your support fuels teams like the one in The Gambia so they can keep showing up for children in need of specialized care.
