May 2012 UConn Medical Brigade Ghana

Marisa's Message

Hi!

Welcome to my fundraising page! I am raising money to go to Ghana with an organization called Global Brigades. On the trip I will work in a clinic and in a local community bringing medical care and health information to the people who would otherwise not have access to those things.

In Ghana:
79% of the population lives on less than $2 a day
18%have access to improved sanitation
45% of children under 5 have needed treatment for malaria
73% chance of living to age 40

You should receive a receipt after you donate, and all donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!! ANY donation will help and is very much appreciated!

Thank you for your generosity
Marisa Melnick

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.
