We are a passionate team of healthcare and public health undergraduate and graduate students dedicated to global health.
Starting our work in 2023, we officially established our organization in 2025.
Why We Exist
More than two decades have passed since the global effort to deliver vaccines to every child began. Yet today, many children around the world still have no access to even the most basic healthcare and continue to lose their lives to diseases that could have been prevented.
In January 2024, our organization visited a village in Ghana.
Ghana generates nearly 40% of its electricity from hydropower and is home to one of the largest artificial lakes in the world.
We visited a health center in a village that had been divided by this lake.
Pregnant mothers living on the other side of the lake must travel for hours in small boats to receive prenatal care and birth delivery.
Unfortunately, there have been cases where mothers had no choice but to give birth during the journey on the lakeshore, losing their babies’ lives.
Even within Ghana, not everyone was aware of these challenges in their own country. This highlights that significant health disparities still exist and that certain populations remain unreached.
Our Role from Japan
We move forward with a strong passion that no one should be left behind. Even children living far away are not strangers; they are lives we care deeply about.
We continue to raise awareness and advocate for change, working hand in hand with youth and partners from diverse backgrounds. We believe thinking globally and acting locally is the key to making a difference.
Our Team
We are a diverse team of youths with backgrounds in medicine, public health, international development, and policy, united by a shared vision.
