CULTURE & MISSION Heart to Heart International (“HHI”) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), non-governmental (NGO) health and humanitarian organization that is focused on engaging its staff and volunteers in meaningful service to those in need around the world. Since its founding in 1992, HHI has delivered medical aid and supplies worth more than $1.2 billion to more than 150 countries, including the United States. HHI responds to crises and natural disasters both domestically and internationally by supplying medical relief and mobilizing volunteers. HHI broadens access to healthcare with medical education opportunities and laboratory standards training around the U.S. and in Haiti, and also works with U.S. safety-net clinics to increase their capacity by providing medical equipment, supplies and volunteers that are vital to operations. HHI’s core mission is to help meet the needs of those suffering from the effects of natural and man-made disasters and those suffering from poverty, while directly engaging volunteers from all walks of life to find a renewed sense of purpose in their own lives. It is this inclusive invitation to serve the poor that provides a transformational, life-altering experience to not only the people in need, but those volunteers helping to meet the need. Annually, HHI assists 250 organizations with over $100 million in humanitarian aid and supplies. This level of assistance has created strong partnerships with major Fortune 500 companies and the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Named to Forbes magazine’s prestigious list of “America’s 200 Largest Charities,” HHI is also recognized as one of the leaders in donor efficiency and charitable commitment. 2 | Page Heart to Heart International Position Profile: Country Manager, Liberia HHI has intentionally maintained a lean and highly efficient organization with 98% of all contributions going directly to relief and development programs. All administrative and fundraising activities are supported by less than 2% of total contributions. According to a recent issue of Charity Navigator, HHI received its highest 4-star rating. This recognition reiterated the fact that HHI operates as a wonderful steward of its charitable donations, freeing close to 100% of monetary and in-kind support toward programmatic efforts. This is a notable achievement. This is most evident in the work HHI carries out in the face of natural disasters – supplying medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, equipment and medical teams of doctors, nurses and willing volunteers. Since 1992, more than $1 billion of aid and supplies have been delivered to over 150 countries, including the United States. HHI responds to both domestic and international disasters, the organization mobilizes volunteers with resources to improve local communities. With the support of volunteers from corporate, civic, religious groups, schools and universities, communities are served through a variety of manners. In the past two decades, HHI developed a sterling reputation for expeditious and focused disaster response, while maintaining highly effective humanitarian programs, particularly in Haiti. Processes, operations and financial management systems are constantly fine tuned to keep HHI on a sustainable and stable financial footing. In February 2014, a rapidly evolving outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever spread across the West African countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia . HHI is working with in country partners in Liberia, one of the most affected countries, to respond to the crisis. To date, HHI has provided multiple shipments of medicines and medical supplies to our partners in West Africa, including personal protective equipment to protect front-line health workers. HHI is now working to open an Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) in Kakata in Margibi County, Liberia, which will provide direct clinical care for Ebola-infected patients.

The group witnessed a healthcare system on the brink of collapse. Motivated by this personal experience, Dr. Morsch and Mr. Kerr returned and challenged their local Rotary Club colleagues to help provide medicine and medical supplies to the Russian people. Local collection drives soon spread. The volunteer group engaged major pharmaceutical companies to join the effort through donations of much-needed products and the U.S. government provided its largest Air Force cargo plane to fly the medical aid to Russia. On May 22, 1992, the C-5A Galaxy aircraft landed in Moscow, and aid was distributed to 34 hospitals and people in need. A gift from the heart of America to the heart of Russia — The Heart to Heart Airlift — became a reality because committed volunteers and caring corporate partners joined together to help people in need. At the time, it was the largest volunteer airlift in U.S. history, and catapulted this volunteer effort which would become Heart to Heart International onto the world stage. The spirit behind that first project is still alive and well today at Heart to Heart International. As it works to create healthier communities around the world, HHI is motivated by the same principles that guided that first group of visionaries: Faith-based values were the motivation behind creating a faith-friendly environment that invites all people to serve the poor and those in need. HHI is a volunteer–centered movement intentionally managed to create a transformational experience for volunteers. The organization is as interested in supporting volunteers to find a renewed sense of purpose in their lives as it is helping those in need and in challenging situations. The volunteer’s experience is at the heart of HHI’s mission, making it notably unique in comparison to other charitable NGO’s. Consistent with the achievement accomplished in the 1992 airlift, HHI accomplishes its mission efficiently and with excellence by being nimble and continually improving. HHI assures that 98% of total contributions go directly to humanitarian programs rather than to administrative overhead by keeping its overhead costs low and processes efficient. The HHI Board of Directors is united around faith friendly organizational values that support growth and development of its staff and fostering transformational experiences for volunteers and those in need. 4 | Page Heart to Heart International Position Profile: Country Manager, Liberia HEART TO HEART INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAM Directors: The Heart to Heart Board of Directors is comprised of business and civic leaders with unlimited passion for the Heart to Heart mission.
