ABOUT US GlobeMed at Bucknell University  

GlobeMed at Bucknell was conceived when two students from Bucknell attended the GlobeMed Global Health Summit in 2006. They returned with the inspiration and passion of the Summit and founded GlobeMed at Bucknell soon afterward. Our chapter was officially established and recognized by the University in 2007.!!Our chapter formed our first partnership in 2007 with SEHC (Students for Equity in Healthcare), a group of medical students in Uganda striving to help their impoverished community. In the spring of 2009, the team decided to take a new direction and began partnership with the existing Kigezi Healthcare Foundation (KIHEFO) to open a nutrition center, to be named the Kigezi Nutrition Rehabilitation Center. The center received its first patient in January 2010 and is admitting new patients as funds continue to stream in. Two students conducted our chapter’s first GROW trip in the summer of 2011 to visit our partner and continue strengthening the relationship we have developed.!

OUR PARTNER 2010 – 2011 Annual Report!

[KIGEZI HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION]  

KEY FACT: At roughly 50%, Kabale is the district with the highest rate of child malnutrition.!

[About Kigezi Healthcare Foundation] FOUNDED IN 2000

The Kigezi Healthcare Foundation (KIHEFO) opened in December 2000 to provide counseling, treatment, nutritional advice, social support and advocacy for local people living with HIV/AIDS. Gradually, KIHEFO expanded to adopt a more multifaceted approach to improving the health of Kabale by establishing a general health clinic, outreach programs with ill and impoverished community groups, agricultural enterprises and, most recently, the Kigezi Nutrition Rehabilitation Center. With support from GlobeMed at Bucknell after the partnership was founded in 2009, the nutrition center opened at the beginning of 2010 to help fight the district’s high rates of malnourishment, child illness, and infant mortality.!!

[WORKS IN KABALE, UGANDA] POPULATION: 44,600 Kabale is located nearly 400 km southwest from Kampala, Uganda’s political and economic center. Kabale’s location along transportation routes to Rwanda and the DRC provide most economic activity, coupled by wildlife tourism. Decades of political instability and devastating economic policies rendered Uganda one of the world’s poorest countries at the beginning of the decade. Most families work in agriculture and many are limited to one meal a day causing malnutrition, especially among the children. Kabale suffers an infant mortality rate of 181 per 1000 children born (nearly twice the national average) and 50% stunted growth for children under 5. High mortality rates result in high fertility rates for women and unregulated population growth, which in turn has lowered the value of labor and jeopardized economic stability in the region.!!

[KIGEZI HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION]  

GlobeMed at Bucknell University  

[Why nutrition?]!The severely high rate malnutrition in the Kabale region stunts community development and weathers the community’s health in a number of ways. Living on a single, unchanging meal each day, children go to school too hungry to take advantage of their education, while men and women fall too ill to work. Therefore, in order to really get at the heart of the issues of health and poverty, we start at the bottom with the most basic of human needs - food.!

Reducing the prevalence of malnourishment in the children of

Kabale, Uganda.!!

GlobeMed at Bucknell supported KIHEFO’s Nutrition Rehabilitation Center by funding nutritional treatment supplies

such as protein supplements and powdered milk, outreach programs that

identify sick and malnourished children in the surrounding communities and

miscellaneous supplies such as weighing scales and mosquito nets.!

GLOBALHEALTHU

Sitting with some friends earlier in the semester, I remember listening to them talk about fundraising for various clubs and charities as if it was a chore and wondering, what makes fundraising for GlobeMed different? I don’t think it’s that our cause is any nobler or that the money we raise is better spent, but the fundraising we achieved for our partner was far from forced. While there are surely many reasons for this, I think the most prominent explanation is GlobalHealthU: a weekly reminder of what we’re all working toward. Through GlobalHealthU, we come to appreciate the extent and necessity of our task, as well as where progress is being made and where major issues remain. These discussions put all of our efforts in perspective and drive our work with the vital base of knowledge and commitment that other organizations can sometimes overlook.!

globalhealthU is a GlobeMed designed curriculum that enables

students to develop a critical understanding of issues in global health and apply this knowledge! to their work with communities

around the world!

COMMUNITY BUILDING

!TOTAL # OF CHAPTER MEMBERS:!!# OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS:!!One of the best things about GlobeMed at Bucknell is that for all that we accomplished throughout the year, it never really seemed like ‘work.’ Through our club dinners, late-night baking sessions and weekends at the Farmer’s Market, what started for most as just another club quickly turned into a group of friends united by a passion for our cause. The weekly meetings became a welcome break from the day-to-day stresses of school and of other extra-curriculars, while our projects were an exciting way of sharing our passion and our friendship with our campus, our community and our partner.!

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. !

GROW INTERNSHIP

Through Grassroots On-site Work (GROW) internships, students make a positive impact in the community by working alongside their partner organization

to further ongoing and new projects.!

!# OF GLOBEMED GROW INTERNS:!!LENGTH OF STAY:!!WORK DESCRIPTION:!The GROW interns develop a working relationship with KIHEFO and assess the social climate of kabale through direct involvement in several of kihefo’s programs. In the nutrition center, interns take height, weight and arm and head circumference measurements to input the data in kihefo’s ongoing child malnutrition survey. In the general clinic, the interns work closely with the staff and patients to learn about common health issues and treatments of the region. The interns participate in several outreach trips to discover the trials of village life and the programs instituted by KIHEFO to improve these highly impoverished communities.!

2011 GLOBAL HEALTH SUMMIT

“Looking around the room at the Summit showed me what solidarity looks like. Listening to my peers, the speakers and my new friends taught me the different paths of working together toward the same goal. All in all, it was extremely influential in the way I think and will continue to act in order to achieve universal global health.”! !

OUR FUTURE

The 2011–2012 school year brings a world of potential for GlobeMed at Bucknell to expand our organization, educate our peers and further our mission to work hand-in-hand with our partner at improving the health and stability of Kabale, Uganda more than ever before. !!Beginning in the summer of 2011 with our first GROW trip, we hope to deepen and bolster our relationship with our partner organization, KIHEFO, in a way that we never before could through intimate, on-site work, and continue by bringing our experiences in Kabale back to Lewisburg in a way that helps our chapter, our campus and our local community better understand the importance of GlobeMed’s work and inspire participation and contributions on an unprecedented level. Moreover, we are fortunate enough to host our partner’s founder, Dr. Geoffrey Anguyo, early in the fall semester, providing us with a tremendous opportunity to bring much of KIHEFO directly to Bucknell through Dr. Anguyo’s knowledge and experience gained in 15 years of running his organization and his untiring devotion to improving the health and poverty status of his region. With these remarkable events kicking off the 2011-2012 school year, we aim to start out strong and only work our way forward from there with frequent, directed campaigns which will ultimately convey the need to address immediate issues in global health across our university and local community, achieve over $5,000 in fundraising and provide for the nutritional rehabilitation of over 100 children in Kabale, all the while strengthening the bonds within chapter, as well as with our campus, our community, the GlobeMed network, our partner and our project in the Nutrition Rehabilitation Center.!
