The Loloma Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) (3) entity that was formed to support the heavily burdened medical/dental system already in place in island nations of the South Pacific. The Foundation is authorized by the IRS to accept tax-deductible financial contributions.

The number of health professionals practicing in the South Pacific is at a breaking point, leaving a good portion of the population living on the outer islands with no primary medical or dental care. Aggravating this lack of care is the "brain drain" found in many underdeveloped countries--last year nearly one third of all health care professionals left the country of Fiji stretching the medical infrastructure even further.

The Loloma Foundation distributes medicine, clothing, school supplies, and other necessities to many agencies throughout the South Pacific, including Fiji, The Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. In 2007-2008 the Loloma Foundation treated more than 6,000 patients in remote areas of these countries.
