My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had the privilege of being associated with Global Links for 11 years, serving on its volunteer advisory board,consulting on fundraising, programmatic and organizational issues, and providing pro bono legal services. Throughout that time I have been greatly impressed with the organization's consistency of vision and mission:Global Links is dedicated to improving the quality and accessibility of health care services for underserved people in targeted developing countries, while concurrently serving as stewards of the environment, through the redirection of sitll-useful mdical equiment and supplies away from U.S. landfills. Global Links has been doing a great job for 20 years, with its effectiveness and impact increasing over the years, thanks in large part to continuial self-examination and efforts to improve. a dedicated and active Board of Directors, and increasingly effective fundraising efforts. Global Links works strategically and collaboratively with recipient countries and facilities, enabling the organizaiton to respond to actual needs, rather than needs as conceived by outsiders. Working through long-term programs and relationships, Global Links has been able to effect significant and cumulative changes in medical facilities and systems gthroughout Latin America and the Caribbean, helping to meet the core needs of the affected populations. The organization is defined by its dedication to delivering high quality and immediately useful material aid -- from complex medical tachnology to critically needed basic medical and hygiene supplies. The efffectiveness of GL's strategies has been recognized by the World Health Organization/Pan Americdan Health Organization, which has provided support and collaboaration for almost two decades. In recent years GL has become more directly involved in related efforts in community health education and training of in-country medical personnel, consistent with the overall goal of improving the quality of and availability of healthcare services in the countries in which they have programs.
