Global health is one of the critical issues for the future of the human species, especially in Africa, where both infectious and non-communicable diseases threaten development. CGHE supports critical development via partnership in the UCDP - University Capacity Development Programme - with the University of the Free State and the University of Venda in South Africa.
OUR MISSION
The University of Virginia's Center for Global Health Equity promotes health in resource-limited settings
by fostering the commitment of students, faculty and partners from many disciplines to support health for all.
This was an incredible experience to meet one of the families of our partners and get to be in a deeper, more intimate setting with her. Seeing the family interact and their excitement to meet us was so touching. This photo is of the young cousins playing with some of the toys they built by hand with metal scraps they found on the streets.

Project: Benefits of Bison Grazing on a Native American Ranch in South Dakota
This was taken during a bison roundup. The bison needed to be moved from one end of the property to the other, which required herding on horseback. The bison are important part of the historical Native American food culture. All of the bison raised on the German ranch are raised without any antibiotics and eat only the grass produced on the ranch. The hope of this bison rancher is return the prairie to its natural state through bison grazing.
