Qui sommes-nous
GlobeMed is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit incorporated in Illinois. Founded by students in 2007, the GlobeMed network engages over 2,000 undergraduates at 56 university-based chapters throughout the U.S. Each chapter is partnered one-to-one with a grassroots health organization in one of 20 countries throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Through their involvement today, our students and partners commit to a life of leadership in global health and social justice.
Our model of long-term partnership has allowed us to work with organizations around the world to help break the cycle of poverty and poor health. Throughout the year, GlobeMed chapters strengthen long-term partnerships through frequent communication, fundraise through innovative initiatives for health projects that help partner organizations achieve their mission, educate students about global health issues through a signature curriculum, and intern on-site with partner organizations.
Vision Statement
We envision a world in which health – the ability to not only survive but thrive – is possible for all people.
