Our Impact Worldwide
Home / Our Clients / International Clients
The Ritter Group has been privileged to serve clients in several parts of the world:
CHRISTIAN HOSPITAL, Tank, Pakistan.
Mothers walk for two days carrying their sick children to this hospital, then have to wait another day or two to be seen by one of the physicians who work long hours. There is continual turnover of exhausted physicians. The Ritter Group helped to raise the needed funds to send the first exploratory team to Tank in 2005, and assisted in securing in-kind gifts of medical equipment filling a 40-foot semi truck trailer that was delivered by ocean freighter to the hospital on Thanksgiving Day, 2006. Funds are continuing to be raised, sending medical teams to work and teach at the hospital.
CORNERSTONE INSTITUTE, Capetown, South Africa.
The Institute has asked The Ritter Group to help find funding sources to support their mission of training future leaders for South Africa. Formerly Cornerstone Christian College, the program of leadership studies has a strong moral and ethical emphasis to help prepare its graduates for the difficult situations and complex situations they are sure to encounter as they move into leadership positions in present-day Africa.
DAYSPRING YOUTH CAMP, Kero, Romania
Each summer over 400 young people from Romania spend four days together sharing worship, creative arts, singing, friendship and hope for the future in this former Soviet nation. The camp is growing so quickly that its makeshift army tent village and water truck no longer comply with the new health regulations of the European Union. The Ritter Group is helping Dayspring to secure $500,000 in funds required to create a campus with lodging, meeting spaces, dining hall, kitchen and sanitary facilities that satisfy the new code.
LAVICTOIRE SCHOOL, Central Plateau, Haiti
Haiti is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. There are 90,000 children living on its Central Plateau, and only three public secondary schools to serve them. The Ritter Group is helping to raise the funds required to add a fourth school in LaVictoire, which the Haitian Ministry of Education has agreed to staff and maintain. The new school is on track to welcome students in September of 2010.
LOS AMIGOS DEL PADRE JUAN, Chimbote, Peru
Los Amigos is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to helping the residents of Chimbote develop self-sustaining educational, economic and humanitarian aid programs. The Ritter Group directed a vigorous process of strategic planning with the Board which surfaced seven critical issue areas and led to the present YES, WE CAN! $10 million capital fund drive.
TARAHUMARA PROJECT, Copper Canyon, Mexico
The Ritter Group has advised the Minnesota Dental Hygienist Association on raising funds for four volunteer work trips so far to bring dental care to the primitive Tarahumara population of northern Mexico. Villagers line up for the chance to be rid of toothaches and gum disease. Care often must be delivered in a portable temporary office, complete with a chaise lounge for its dental chair.
