Another organization I am involved with on campus is GlobeMed! GlobeMed aims to strengthen the movement for global health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to improve the health of the impoverished around the world. Watch this beautifully done video to get a glimpse of our impact:
Our partner is The Rwanda Village Concept Project (RVCP). It is a non-profit organization run by students from the National University of Rwanda located in Butare, Rwanda. RVCP takes creative approaches to solving problems found in the communities surround and in Butare, Rwanda. RVCP also works to bring sustainable income generation projects to those communities as well as working with the Huye Health Center and sponsoring several youth clubs focusing on both malaria prevention and STD/HIV prevention. Right now, we are working on raising funds to build a waiting room at the Huye Health Center!
