Project C.U.R.E. Reload
We will enable Project C.U.R.E. to increase their output to areas in desperate need of medical attention.

Project C.U.R.E. is a not-for-profit organization that provides medical supplies to third-world countries and other regions that desperately need an improvement in health services. Our contribution to the program is to design an organizational system that will streamline the entire storage and shipping process. This will free up time and money that the organization can devote toward their primary purpose of acquiring and shipping medical supplies as well as increase the capabilty for the organization to expand in the future.
