Letter from the Founder & CEO
Dear Friends, Partners, Volunteers, and Supporters,
Every meaningful journey begins with a vision.
Mercytree International Foundation was established with a simple but powerful belief: no individual should be denied the opportunity to live a healthy and dignified life because of geography, limited resources, or inadequate access to healthcare.
Throughout 2024–2025, our organization continued to grow—not only through programs, but by strengthening the systems that will enable sustainable impact for years to come.
While Mercytree has remained primarily supported through founder investment, volunteer service, and generous in-kind contributions, we have continued building the governance, partnerships, strategic planning, and operational foundation needed to expand responsibly.
This year was about preparation as much as implementation.
We strengthened our organizational framework, refined our healthcare initiatives, expanded partnership opportunities, and continued designing programs that address both immediate healthcare needs and the long-term challenges affecting underserved communities.
These accomplishments would not have been possible without the dedication of volunteers, advisors, community leaders, healthcare professionals, and supporters who believe in our mission.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to responsible stewardship, transparency, innovation, and collaboration.
Together, we are building healthier communities—one partnership, one program, and one life at a time.
Thank you for believing in Mercytree.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer
