Duke Project HEAL

Duke Project HEAL Project HEAL is a Duke University organization committed to health education in Honduras and in the

Project HEAL is an organization that strives to reduce health disparities and facilitate access to medical care in rural Honduran villages. Recognizing the disease burden endured by Honduras as the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere as well as its limited medical resources, we plan and implement civic engagement projects to promote capacity building, community development, and prevent

ive health behaviors. One of our main objectives is to raise funds to send Duke students to Honduran villages over the summer to implement educational and research-focused projects. Programs designed by Project HEALers focus on community research and health education for kids and adults. Each year, we not only develop and maintain a strong working relationship with our Honduran partners, but we also assess community needs and adjust lesson plans based on changing needs and resources. Additionally, partnering with El Centro Hispano, a Durham-based organization that empowers the local Latino community, lets members facilitate our health education activities before going to Honduras. Our local work has strengthened the collaboration between Project HEAL, DGMB, El Centro Hispano, and the Latino community. Continuing our success in gaining funding for our projects, we received one of the $10,000 Davis Projects for Peace grants for our summer of 2011 women’s health initiative, which will feature women’s health discussions, capacity building at the health clinic, a public health campaign, and health education and research programs. Furthermore, this year we have successfully initiated a local health education initiative in collaboration with El Centro Hispano, an organization that supports the Latino community in Durham, and Duke Global Medical Brigades (DGMB), another dPS organization that coordinates annual projects in Honduras. We have also restructured our executive board to better represent our changing goals, including the newly elected Local Outreach Chair, Health Education Coordinator, and Campus Programming Co-Chairs this spring.

Hi Project HEAL!
*Salud Para Todos T-shirt*

https://forms.gle/wgqTT4uHnmzfWG4A7

Our organization works domestically and globally with communities to address heath-related concerns! One of the organizations we work closely with is El Centro Hispano: a Latino nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the community, building bridges and advocating for equity and inclusion for Hispanics/Latinos in the Triangle Area of North Carolina. This semester, we designed a t-shirt in collaboration with El Centro to encourage Duke students to support the Durham Latinx population. Consider getting one because all proceeds go to El Centro Hispano!

Meet a member of the Honduras Team 2019: Anisha Watwe!

I am a sophomore at Duke University in the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences and am from Cary, North Carolina. I am pursuing a self-designed, Program II degree in global reproductive and sexual health policy. Specifically, I am interested in global health disparities and am driven to pursue universal health equity for women and underserved populations. Being on the Honduras team this summer will allow me to conduct field research on the issue I am most passionate about while at the same time improving my Spanish-speaking skills. I am also on a competitive Bollywood fusion dance team at Duke and love to draw.
