Chapters & Partnerships

Since 2006, GlobeMed has had a presence on 69 campuses across the United States and in Rwanda, with more than 6,000 students being involved in their university’s chapter. These chapters worked with 109 different groundbreaking grassroots organizations working in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Throughout our 15 years of working with community leaders around the world, GlobeMed saw the transformative potential of grassroots organizations harnessing the power of their own communities to drive the change they need. Seeing that, the best way to achieve lasting change is to shift power and resources to those grassroots organizations.

During our operation, GlobeMed students mobilized over $3.5 million in unrestricted funds for more than 385 health projects across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. This unrestricted, trust-based support ensures that organizations have the necessary operational foundation to be impactful. In addition, GlobeMed funding has been used to run critical but hard-to-fund programs, like crisis support for refugees, as well as pilot initiatives that require trial, iteration, and metrics showing success before other funders will invest.

Groundbreaking Grassroots Partner Organizations

In the more than 15 years of working with many impactful grassroots organizations, GlobeMed has identified four characteristics that makes a partner organization exemplary:

Target root causes: Our partners do not simply implement stand-alone projects or provide band-aid solutions. They target the root causes that are driving poverty and sickness in their community and work to challenge the regional, national, and global systems that create and perpetuate inequity.
Amplify community voices: Our partners not only know the community’s needs, but also engage the community in every stage of their programs. They give community members positions of power in the design, implementation, and evaluation of projects.
Focus on mission: Our partners focus on their mission and know when to turn down support that detracts them from their mission.
Committed to learning: Our partners uses a rigorous evaluation strategy to test assumptions, pilot project models, and develop strategies tailored to their goals and community.

“Most donors prefer to fund a project that has already been started. Most donors fear trying to start a new project. They love to fund a project that is ongoing, but GlobeMed was so good. They took it on when we told them about [our pilot project ideas]. If GlobeMed didn’t take on the project, I don’t think the US embassy would have put in the funding.”

— Robinah Muganzi, Set Her Free

“What I can say about the uniqueness of GlobeMed is that it is faithful. The community can dictate the projects they want to propose.”

— Peter Mokaya, Ungano Tena
