Bridget Meyer has her degree in Development Studies from UC Berkeley. The study of political and economic development of third world countries opened her eyes to the inequalities throughout the world.  She had the opportunity to travel to 25 different countries through stipends, scholarships and research grants.  She researched Dusky Dolphins in New Zealand, conducted independent research on Social Capital in Cuba and Mupuche Indians in Chile.  Her senior year, she traveled to Guatemala to research Fair Trade Coffee and was asked by families in Guatemala to implement a program that would offer medicine to the community to stop child mortality.  Upon graduating, Bridget created the Global Healthcare Project (GHP).  Bridget is currently working full time as a Director of GHP, developing new programs for Guatemala and researching other countries that may benefit from GHP programs.

Why Pueblo Nuevo, Guatemala?

Why do GHP and our donors choose to provide Public Health services to a community in Guatemala when there are people in the United States who lack medical insurance?  While no one's suffering in poverty can or should be compared to anothers. there are differences between poverty in Guatemala and in the United States.  The access and exposure to help and information for impoverished people in the United States is greater than that of impoverished people in Guatemala.

"Love just one nation, and a whole world we divide."  - Michael Franti

They have asked us to help them.  They could have asked for so many other things, but their wishes were simple. All they asked for were clothing and access to healthcare, two basic necessities that no person should be denied.  GHP will provide healthcare and education on disease prevention in order to reduce child mortality. We are committed to the well-being of the Pueblo Nuevo community and future communities we serve.
