It’s one thing to learn about health inequities in the classroom; it’s quite another to see what they look like in the real world.

In January, the Center for Health and Wellbeing (CHW) sponsored a trip to Kenya for 19 Princeton juniors minoring in global health and health policy. The fully funded experience, supported by the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), was designed to give the students a deeper understanding of global health challenges in a lower-middle income country. The trip itself spanned two weeks, but its impact has endured among the participants, inspiring service, philanthropy, research, and other engagement in pursuit of stronger, healthier communities.
