Our Focus

Providing support for education and healthcare

Education

85% of all students in the Northern part of Cordoba Province do not continue with their studies past the age of 13, severely limiting the career opportunities in life.

While the needs are many, our experience has shown a focus to increase achievement in primary and elementary schools places students on a path for greater ability to learn in later grades, and increases their opportunities for a highly productive career.

We seek to improve the education delivered by supplying schools with books, learning materials, clothing, art supplies and fostering parent involvement.

Healthcare

We desire to deliver greatly needed medical equipment and supplies to hospitals located in rural areas where adequate medical care is currently unavailable.

Through working with U.S. based ministries, gently used and refurbished medical equipment can be acquired and shipped to Argentina in a cost-effective manner. Medical equipment is difficult to come by and is very expensive in Argentina.

We desire to raise significant funds to cover the acquisition and shipping of items such as hospital beds, infusion pumps, respirators, X-ray machines, oxygen sensors, general medical supplies and basic hospital furniture.

Soaring Argentina gave a community in need the chance to LEARN, EXPERIENCE, and LAUGH...Thank you again for an outstanding experience.
