Review for Global Links, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am absolutely impressed with Global Links' ability to be truly resourceful in simultaneously addressing the problem of excess/waste from the hospital/pharmaceutical end and the problem of lack of medical equipment and supplies in the third world due to economic and infrastructural disadvantage. It is not only an ingenious environmentally-friendly organization that recycles what could become waste, but one that also quietly and effectively fights for human rights on a global level in terms of equal access to quality health care.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Sending packages of medical supplies to numerous countries that need it, base particularly on their individual requests.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The enthusiasm and idealism.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

The people who work there are genuine and in this for the right reasons.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Work to send supplies to a greater variety of countries.

Ways to make it better...

I could see the "foreign" side of the organization's impact.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Amount of labor needed to compose care packages, funds to send them overseas.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
