Our Crowdfunding Groups
Global Brigades is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Global Brigades’ mission is to provide rural communities with sustainable solutions under a holistic service model, in order to improve health, water, sanitation, and economic infrastructures. Since 2005, nearly 20,000 volunteers, consisting of students and health professionals, have traveled to Honduras, Panama, Ghana, and Nicaragua to deliver services to about 500,000 patients in over 250 communities. These are low-income, rural communities with limited or no access to healthcare otherwise.
The University of Mary Washington Chapter of Global Brigades will be traveling to Panama for one week this January and will be functioning like a mobile medical unit, setting up small clinics to diagnose and treat patients at no cost. From in-take, to triage, to medical consultations, dental examinations and procedures, to filling prescriptions, we will experience the many realms of the medical, dental, and pharmacy professions under the guidance of licensed professionals.
Your philanthropic support will help fund our flights and medical supplies for the communities. With the help of generous donors, personal investment, and fundraisers we are able to successfully change the lives of people who have no access to medical/dental care.
