Mission GlobeMed aims to strengthen the movement for global
health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to improve the health of people living in
poverty around the world.
Vision We envision a world in which health – the ability to not
only survive but thrive – is possible for all people, regardless of where they call home.
We believe every human life has equal worth and every person deserves the chance to thrive. This belief has
drawn together our network of students, communities, and supporters from all walks of life and from every
corner of the world. Health for all is within our grasp, but we can only achieve it by working together.
About GlobeMed
Dear Friends, We came. We saw. We conquered. After the year we've had, it's hard to say these words. We started the year, our heads held high, ready to tackle the enormous campus of ASU's 70,000 student population - we came. As we started working, our spirits soared even higher after the taste of our biggest success - we saw potential. But this year, our weaknesses were exposed and rubbed raw. Campaigns failed, relationships laced with tension, but in the end we overcame it all and saw our collective passions realized. We trudged forward with our compassion in one hand and our determination to see that compassion realized in the other... and we conquered. To be able to lead such an incredible group of passionate, strong, determined, and motivated individuals is an absolutely indescribable experience - one that we thank you for. To our supporters and chapter members, it is with exuberant joy that we are able to recite a few beloved, choice words: "Though she be but little, she is fierce!" Sincerely, Megan Atencia and Kaylin Stinski Co-Presidents 2013-2014 GlobeMed at Arizona State Univ.
Message from the Co-Presidents
Since our founding in Spring 2012, our chapter has grown from 6 members to
25 members.
We were founded in 2012 via an extra credit assignment for the class Poverty, Social Justice, and Global Health - humble enough beginnings in a class of selfless people doing a relatively selfish thing. An interesting start to a partnership that, in its own way, reflected how a partnership works: an exchange of thoughts, ideas, cultures, and life being born out of an exchange for points, the satisfaction of doing good, and the hard work it takes to blossom a nonprofit. Our partner was then forged with ICOD Action Network in Lyantonde, Uganda. This has been our second full year, and it's been a great honor to see it grow - we've built a house, pit latrine, and water tank for a beneficiary family of a widow and four children; we've had one successful GROW trip and have another planned for Summer 2014; and, we have overcome so many obstacles that have stood in our way. We now have ten alumni who wholeheartedly support us, and have just seen off the last of our founders - quite the milestone in our young history. We look forward to everything next year will bring and hope to build even more upon this story!
About Us GlobeMed at Arizona State
University
Lyantonde, Uganda Population: 76,600 The local economy is primarily agricultural. Subsistence cultivation is the principal means of livelihood for over 70% of Lyantonde’s population. Food insecurity is a major periodical threat. Every three years, the area experiences prolonged dry spell resulting into famine, which exacerbates the AIDS problem.
Our Partnership ICOD Action Network
Founded in February 2008 ICOD Action Network was created to empower the local community to sustain themselves beyond and in conjunction with material needs. The partnership with GlobeMed started in 2012. ICOD's mission is to respond to the socioeconomic challenges in society such as HIV/AIDS, unemployment, poverty, and food insecurity. Their project areas are focused on HIV/AIDS, ICT for Farmers, Shelter, Permaculture, Food Trees, Health Outreach, Water Extension, and Consultancy.
Poverty is endemic in Lyantonde district;
over 82% of the households are
estimated to survive below the Uganda’s subsistence level.
We funded the building of a house, pit latrine, and water tank for a family affected and/or infected by HIV/AIDS. Our beneficiary family this year was Annette, and her three young children. The number of lives impacted directly will be 4, but can range to the whole community when looking at indirect impact.

infected by HIV/AIDS each summer.

Campaigns
Total number of chapter members in 2013 – 2014: 25 Number of community-building events: 4 Number of hours volunteered in the community: 7 Over the school year, we had community building events that helped build camaraderie and friendships among members. During staff meetings, we held icebreakers or fun artsy craftsy activities with members. Through this, we got to know some of the new faces that kept popping up over the school year. We also participated in an AIDS walk and volunteered with WTAP, a nonprofit organization that welcomes refugees to the Phoenix area. We also had a holiday party and an end of the school year dinner event. Our community building this year was great, but our goals for next year are to engage a larger number of our members in participating in the events outside of staff meetings.
Community Building
Through service and team-building events, community and camaraderie is fostered around global health and social justice
within GlobeMed chapters, the GlobeMed network and surrounding communities.
globalhealthU is GlobeMed’s signature year-long global health curriculum. This student-designed and driven program equips students
with the critical thinking skills that will inform a life of leadership for global health.
globalhealthU
GlobalhealthU was able to foster dynamic discussions on a variety of topics. Sessions would include watching 10-20 minute TED talks, reading about current world social justice news, and analyzing infographics on poverty and social justice issues. Often, the discussion would continue on our FB group page, after the meeting had ended. Through ghU, our chapter was able to address some of the key topics of health disparities around the world. The discussions showed interest, engagement, and a yearning for more. We are excited to expand our ghU curriculum next year to infuse more global health substance to our chapter.
# of responses: 20+ Living in a desert city, water is always on our mind. We are lucky enough to have a constant supply of it (at least for now). However, in Uganda, where our partner organization is based, water is a major concern. Most of it is dirty, unsafe, and in remote locations, making access difficult. This not only causes problems like dehydration, but it is also a sanitation concern (think toilets). We decided to do a compare and contrast of water in Phoenix and in Uganda. We asked passerby's questions, such as: "Is water an important aspect of people's health and happiness, and why?" and "Would you travel farther for dirtier looking water or would you choose water that is closer but shared with livestock?" We hoped these questions would spark discussions and introspection about water as a human right. We had people write their answers on whiteboards. We also had Mason jars of clean-looking and dirty water to illustrate our point. This day was a great success -- we got some awesome responses.

“I saw the passion that brings people and communities
together, from towns and villages to fostering international connections, and
I learned that it takes passion to truly create change.”– Sophia
McGovern, 2016
Sophia is helping oversee the construction of a brick house, pit latrine, and water tank for Annette and her three young children in Lyantonde, Uganda. She is directly in contact with our partner organization, ICOD Action Network. She plans on interviewing ICOD as well as bringing back photos, materials, videos from her time there. Sophia is also reviewing how both GlobeMed and ICOD impact the community both directly and indirectly.
Dear Friends, We are excited to capitalize on the growth we have had our last two years as a chapter at ASU and make our third year the most successful one yet. We are implementing many changes across the chapter – using our past mistakes and stumbles as a spring board for new opportunities and renewal. This summer, the co-presidents are working on several new tools that will be used this year. We are making ASU-specific handbooks for eboard and staff to familiarize our new members with their roles better. We are switching to Mailchimp for email communication, and we are streamlining internal communication to make it more visible and accessible. In addition, we are proud of the work we have accomplished thus far in regards to ICOD Action Network. We want to use this momentum for further gains, and as such, are holding our staff and eboard members to higher standards. An attendance policy will be implemented this year, and we are looking forward to the benefits it will bring. Furthermore, we are separating our eboard and staff meetings. Instead of them being lumped together in a two hour span, eboard will meet separately over lunch, and our staff meeting will be expanded to two hours to accommodate more time for gHU. We are excited to partner with more organizations on campus and to reach a broader base of students. This will allow us to have a deeper impact in the Lyantonde community as we build more houses for beneficiary families. Thank you to all who have been such wonderful supporters along the way.
