VIDA is excited to announce that Peru's Ministry of Health has entered into a partnership with VIDA to facilitate the customs clearance and in country distribution of medical equipment and medical supplies to the communities devestated by the floods. This partnership is reducing the international shipping costs by 40% and will eliminate all costs for shipping inside Peru. This means that your support will help more people than ever before. This develoment along with the increase in donations from hospitals accross California will enable VIDA to ship a record number of containers to Peru in 2018. This is a very important development as the cost of transporting aid to the Sacred Valley, Cuzco as well as other locations not near a port is very high and limits VIDA's capacity to send more aid. As this report is being written, there are two containers currently in Peruvian customs and another container is on the water. Thank you for your continued generosity!
