A huge amount of medical supplies get thrown away in Toronto every day. We believe this is wrong when people around the world suffer from a lack of access to these supplies. Not Just Tourists addresses this problem by collecting surplus medical supplies, packing them into suitcases and sending it to remote non-profit clinics around the world. This year Not Just Tourists Toronto has sent medical supplies to Cuba, Honduras, Syria, Kenya, Congo and 19 other countries.
NJT is inclusive, non religious nor politically affiliated, and we do not fund raise or have any paid staff. Come join our team of amazing, dedicated volunteers who are making a difference!
