About the work

Who they are...

After witnessing the urgent need for surgical care in Honduras, leaders at Surgical Care Associates launched what would become One World Surgery—a nonprofit delivering high-quality surgical missions to underserved communities globally. Fueled by passionate volunteers and growing donor support, the organization rapidly expanded its reach and impact.

Their Challenge

Facing long surgical waitlists, complex nonprofit partnerships in Honduras, and limited internal infrastructure, One World Surgery struggled to keep pace with its rapid growth. After merging with a partner organization, they also needed a stronger fundraising engine and leadership team to fuel expansion into new regions.

“We approached our Evolve consultants as a new organization, and within six months, the team helped us become a world-class organization with robust programming and fundraising. Our consultants became part of the team, living and breathing SCA Medical Missions like we were. They provided valuable thought leadership and execution support across many complex issues. The team remained flexible and updated the scope of work according to our most immediate needs. As a result, One World Surgery is able to serve thousands of patients and change the lives of our volunteers.”
