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. In 2013, GlobeMed signed an MoU with FORUDEF to foster activities in the domain of health and poverty alleviation. Since then a team of students of the Xavier University Chapter of GlobeMed visited FORUDEF, and travelled to Akwaya where the Chapter is funding a VIP toilet project.
The Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife, through the Program for the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources for the Southwest, has worked with FORUDEF to promote non-timber forest products management and capacity building throughout the Southwest region, especially in Akwaya. The Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife has provided training, technical services and strategic advice towards the promotion of sustainable development initiatives.
As of September 2011, FORUDEF has obtained a permanent partnership with Golbal Giving as a result of meeting the requirements set out in the August 2011 Open Challenge. FORUDEF used Global Giving’s online donation site to raise enough money to implement an income generation project in Ote village. Global Giving acts as an online marketplace for grassroots NGOs to obtain support from individual donors around the world. FORUDEF will continue to post projects on the Global Giving site, with the goal of raising funds from the international community of individuals focused on empowering grassroots change.
