ADVOCATES FOR WORLD HEALTH

Carolina Advocates for World Health

• About
  Advocates for World Health is a nonprofit organization that is committed to improving the health care delivery system in the developing world and promoting environmental stewardship. AWH achieves this through brokering medical product to
  organizations that provide health care services to underserved populations in the developing world through our student-led initiative. By redirecting usable medical supplies and equipment from the waste stream to foreign health care providers, AWH is
  lowering overhead cost, improving access to health care, strengthening the health care delivery system, and engaging in ecofriendly practices. Nations that have received medical donations from AWH include Guatemala, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.
  
  
  AWH is a student-led initiative where college students actively participate in collecting medical product and volunteer on health brigades. We believe that through active participation and fundraising our students will become advocates for change because they will
  experience firsthand the growing need to improve the health care infrastructure in the developing world.
