Overview

Mission

To care for orphaned and impoverished children with disabilities and birth defects in asia and africa, by providing multi-specialty medical treatments, and hands-on training and medical education. Ccpf leads a team of all-volunteer medical professionals to provide free surgery and rehabilitation care; surgical education and rehabilitative training to host country doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals and care-givers; and clinical information and techniques to our host colleagues to enable continued care for the patients after ccpf returns home from mission trips. Ccpf has provided life-changing surgeries and rehabilitation treatments that have improved the health and quality of life of over 1200 children.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2012, ccpf established a ground -breaking rehabilitation program. It began at the chengdu welfare institute and expanded to the nanjing welfare institute, both of which are orphanages housing many disabled children. Since 2020, travel to china has remained closed for our work. Therefore, we continued to provide training via video conferencing. Since 2022, we have explored expanding the rehabilitation program to africa and india.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
