A WOGO mission is only possible because of the hearts behind it.

More than 60 volunteers, some seasoned, some new, brought their hands, their hearts and their hope to the mission.

These are just a few of the people who make it all possible. youtu.be/tQ_MStjQGwE

WOGO’s vision is to transform lives in under-served global communities by reducing the chronic burden of arthritis and disability through total joint reconstruction. And to leave the communities we visited healthier, more knowledgeable and inspired to reach beyond prior limits. #RestoreMobility

For some, it’s a powerful reunion. For others, it’s a first glimpse into a purpose larger than themselves. This film captures the heart of that return where compassion meets resilience, and where every restored life tells a story of its own. Watch now. #WOGOinTZ #RestoreMobility

WOGO @womenofwogo.bsky.social · Apr 18

The Return That Restores is more than a mission, it’s a homecoming. Eleven years after their first visit, WOGO returns to Tanzania, not just to heal, but to reconnect.
