Passionate About:

Hello! My name is Aidan Crawford and I am so excited to announce that I will have the opportunity to be a medical intern in Peru this January! I will be traveling alongside 24 other students from my university and will be working with VAW Global Health Alliance. VAW is a health and developmental organization that works to provide sustainable and accessible healthcare to low and middle-income countries. As an intern, I will have the opportunity to work with local medical professionals to help run a free clinic for the surrounding communities. I am so excited about this amazing opportunity and would greatly appreciate any support you could offer! As an intern, we are tasked with raising $1100 that will go toward the clinic’s medications, local medical staff salary, and intern housing and transportation. Thank you for taking the time to hear about the VAW Peru Clinic. Any donations are accepted and appreciated. Thank you!!

VAW Global at Loyola University Chicago will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
