Not Just Tourists is a non-profit, non-religious, non-political humanitarian organization based in Canada. Its mission is to help those who need health care urgently by matching tourists who are visiting developing countries with local clinics and hospitals who require medicine and medical supplies.
Not Just Tourists was founded with the purpose of getting medical supplies to those who can't afford them. Ordinary tourists are given the means to change the lives of the locals they
Since its inception 25 years ago, it has spread with chapters across Canada and over 10,000 suitcases delivered to 82 countries.
Not Just Tourists receives donations from Canada's largest hospitals, clinics, medical suppliers and individuals. The supplies donated are typically gauze, bandages, surgical instruments, masks, gloves, antiseptics, IV kits, urinary supplies and birthing kits. The supplies are packed by volunteers into suitcases during weekly “packing parties”. Travellers sign up and are given the suitcases to deliver to remote clinics where they are needed. The project does not accept funding, is non-political, non-religious. Everything is accomplished through volunteers.
