We are a small Canadian non-profit charity with no political or religious affiliations, connecting medical, pharmaceuticals & support personnel to communities in need ABROAD.
STIMMA is a young charity, which started with a group of like-minded people who realized that ordinary people working in partnership with people from communities in need in other countries could be effective in facilitating change.
Our vision is to bring health and hope to disadvantaged and marginalized people, to help improve and provide opportunity to build better lives.
