The Problem

I am working between two communities to solve two different problems that are connected. I am working on communities in Africa to provide access to basic health care and working in communities of young people in the US to bring greater awareness and action to the problem of access to health care faced in African communities. This project will address the problem that young people so often ignored within the international development community while at the same time young people have not been engaged and taught to have a broader worldview. There is a void of teaching and opportunity for young people interested in making sustainable impacts in international development.
