Our Crowdfunding Groups
As we close out our campaign, the students, faculty, and staff of Public Health Without Borders would like to thank everyone who has graciously donated to our cause.
We greatly appreciate the support of our public health community, from our Public Health Advocates to our Student Sponsors.
On behalf of our travel teams and our international partners, thank you!
Sincerely,
The Members of Public Health Without Borders
A $25 donation will cover the cost of materials that we use during our handwashing demonstrations. Proper handwashing is one of the most effective ways to prevent disease transmission. To educate children and communities about proper handwashing, we use visual tools like Glo Germ, which glows under a black light and simulates remaining germs on hands after washing.
A $50 donation will help offset costs associated with in-country travel for students. Some of the locations we travel to are remote. Ferry rides, drivers, and fuel for transportation are a few of the in-country travel expenses we have.
Your donation of $100 will be used to help offset the costs of our health education interventions. This would include the design, creation, and printing of health promotion material for workshops to remain in country. Travel teams purchase supplies to leave with community leaders in order to facilitate sustainable intervention programs.
Your donation of $500 would help support the development of various programs within each project team. This would include the training of a community health worker in Sierra Leone, the development plans of a library in Peru, and the facilitation of background checks and fingerprinting for students in our area.
Your donation of $1,000 will be used to cover airfare for a University of Maryland undergraduate student who would be unable to travel without this financial assistance.
