Project Overview
We seek volunteer skilled in video editing to create a series of 2-4 short, creative video clips to promote our surgical outreach efforts. 5 billion people lack access to basic surgical care and suffer death and disability from untreated disease. GSE seeks to be part of the solution by providing surgeries and surgical equipment to underserved regions around the world.
This project involves the development of several videos that will effectively communicate the mission, impact, and urgent need for support of this project. The videos should be optimized for social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The ideal volunteer has a creative mind and ability to tell stories through video.
We have been fortunate to have had the support of volunteer videographers, allowing us to capture unique and compelling raw footage from a variety of surgical mission trips across Central America and Africa. This footage includes many patient testimonials, dedicated healthcare volunteer footage, and surgical footage. It is very important that we are able to use this footage to now reach a larger audience and communicate the devastating impact of surgical disease and the importance of our efforts.
By creating powerful, visually engaging videos, you will directly contribute to raising the global awareness needed to drive donations, partnerships, and volunteer involvement. Your work will not only enhance the visibility of our initiative but also inspire action among viewers, and transform the lives of millions across the world.All the raw footage is available in cloud format. You will work directly with the charity executive director so that you can have a clear vision of the charity and the project. We have numerous communication formats in place that will allow us to share this content with a wide audience.
Nonprofit Overview
To change lives by expanding access to surgical care worldwide.
We founded Global Surgical Expedition eleven years ago because we believe it is unacceptable that 30 to 50 percent of the world’s population lacks access to basic surgical care. It is not all right that a significant percentage of deaths in these countries could be prevented by routine surgeries that you and I take for granted.
Global Surgical Expedition is a 501c3 NGO that delivers surgeries to underserved people throughout the world. We have now surpassed 500 surgeries in Central America and Africa, in addition to over 1400 patients treated. We have built a dedicated group of medical volunteers, with over 40 physicians, nurses, technicians, and therapists participating in our trips. And, at a cost of less than $1000 per surgery provided, we are very proud of how cost-effective we have been able to deliver this care.
But, we are proud to have a much bigger vision and related goals than simply providing surgery. We do this through a commitment to our 4 pillars for surgical care: providing surgeries and surgical infrastructure, performing global surgery research, advocacy, and global surgery education to surgical residents and students. Through this broad approach, we can make a much bigger impact.
