objective

We are optimists in our belief that one day there will be healthcare equality throughout the world. By educating the rural parts of the world about the importance of healthcare, we think we have a fighting chance to bring equality slowly and steadily to these high risk regions. By working with institutions with the same vision in the area, we can help enable them and push our combined direction forward faster.

Due to backwards thinking, 
rural people believe that western medicine is harmful for them. They prefer to visit their village quack that will misguide them and possibly even lead them towards medical complications. This backward thinking comes from listening to wrongful health cases that the media spreads, which scares them from coming to a medical hospital. We have seen that by sending volunteers to talk to them and by integrating with their community, they are more susceptible to change. In fact, one volunteer can bring in 1,000 patients within a month.

The ones that do consider coming face a new problem. How will they earn their daily wage if they are not working and are instead at the hospital? How will they provide for their family if they are not there? Low cost hospitals provide medical services at less than $10 for yearly checkups. To most of the world that is just one meal out while to them it can mean life or death, but they would rather skip it to provide and earn for their family. By raising money, we save their lives and the lives of their families.

By working with health institutions with the same vision in the area, we can help enable them and push our combined direction forward faster. Very few organizations open up to serve this population, so it is important that we help them anyway we can. Most end up shutting down eventually, due to lack of resources and funds, so we work to protect these hospitals. By raising money towards the improvement of these hospitals, we keep them from shutting down.

Combined we make a difference. We have one life, so let’s make it a loving one.

school chapters

This program is a grassroots movement rooted in a belief that U.S. high school and college student have a vital role to play as global citizens. We provide youth with the resources and skills to think globally and act locally for the world's most vulnerable. By building community, fundraising, and advocating for a better future, these youth become leaders for their peers and the world.

​PARTNER WITH RIMS

We work with local organizations that believe in the same mission as us. RIMS provides low-cost health treatment to the surrounding rural population. But to be able to continue to do so, they need our help with providing volunteers and with raising donations. Check them out here: rimsindia.ac.in
