About Us

The Hays CISD is a chapter of Squads Abroad, a non-profit supporting sustainable development goals to improve health and education outcomes in partner communities abroad. As a Global Health Squad, our group works in under resourced schools abroad to supplement local curriculum, provide one-on-one tutoring, make physical improvements to the school’s infrastructure that improve learning outcomes, increase access to healthcare services, deliver health workshops alongside local students, and build water and sanitation infrastructure projects that help keep students healthy and attending school. Our group also examines the social determinants of public health in the community through visitations of local health organizations and guest speakers to be able to compare and contrast our health systems at home.


Please consider joining our chapter to volunteer with us or donate directly to the school infrastructure project that our partner schools have requested.

Global Health Squads mobilizes students abroad to help improve health care access and sanitation infrastructure for children in under-resourced communities abroad. Projects include: mobile health clinics for children, building handwashing stations at schools, providing nutrition education and dental and vision clinics. Health Squads is a program of Global Brigades, a highly recognized international development organization that uniquely implements a Holistic Model that targets specific UN Sustainable Development goals within partner communities. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably transitioning to a relationship of impact monitoring.
