Promoting Health Change, Not Charity.
"It is easy for people in this country to feel far removed from the plight of people in Africa, but the action that MHOP has taken is inspiring. Hopefully it will spur others to realize that they too can be a force for good in our world."
-Bernard Sanders, US Senator

Woman Honored for her Work in Mali
Caitlin Cohen originally went to Mali as a college student to assist in AIDS research.
But she quickly realized that the people there would benefit a lot more from some organizational help than they would from another research study.
Cohen gave up her statistician's pen and started the Mali Health Organizing Project, a nonprofit group that helps the country's poorest residents start their own health centers and advocate for changes in education and infrastructure development.
