GlobeMed at Dartmouth partners with the Kachin Women’s Association Thailand
(KWAT), a grassroots organization located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. KWAT
promotes the health, security, and empowerment of victims of ethnic
conflict in Burma’s Kachin State. Civil war and political and economic
deterioration in this state have caused thousands to flee their homes in
Burma and cross the border into Thailand where they live without access to
basic health care and education. GlobeMed at Dartmouth engages in
fundraising campaigns throughout the year to fully fund a Reproductive
Health Training Program that will provide essential resources and education
for Kachin community members. GlobeMed at Dartmouth also hosts a year-long
curriculum of discussions on major topics in global health will send a
group of Dartmouth students to Thailand to work with KWAT this summer.
