WE ARE THE OUTSIDERS!
Born from the idea that 1 +1 =3
we formed the Texas Outsiders to do more.
PARTNERSHIP
OneWorld Health has worked side by side with communities in need for 13 years to better understand the challenges of access and quality in healthcare across the globe—and help ensure that your birth country does not determine your ability to access basic healthcare.
IMPACT
Our community has come together to raise funds in our community in many exciting ways. Outsiders have participated in an annual golf tournament, ran in races, engaged their personal networks, held purse and jewelry auctions and more!. Additionally, nearly 20 Outsiders have served globally along OneWorld Health providing life-saving care in rural communities.
More than dollars raised, our Texas Outsiders network has shown us the true power of community—and that when we work together, amazing things happen. And, our support goes beyond financial support. Two of our Texas Outsiders members serve on the board of OneWorld Health, providing strategic counsel and support.
THE NEED
Many of our brothers and sisters across the globe continue to face urgent healthcare needs.
As Americans, we are fortunate to have access to some of the best quality healthcare services available in the entire world. Unfortunately, this is not always the case for people living in emerging countries.
Clinics aren’t accessible.
By and large, local governments continue to make choices about who deserves access to high-quality, affordable, and consistent healthcare – perpetuating the very inequities we exist to address.
Cost isn't affordable.
Local, private healthcare systems are still too expensive for the majority of the population. And, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, global poverty levels are increasing for the first time in 30 years. Recent estimates conclude that poverty could rise to over one billion people globally as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
Care isn’t high-quality.
Public systems are still overcrowded, underfunded, and lack the basic supplies for consistent care. Preventable disasters and diseases continue to plague too many of our brothers and sisters in need.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
You have the power to help provide healthcare for a child who breaks a bone playing in Nicaragua or for a new mom who needs to schedule prenatal visits in Uganda. Be a part of healthcare that’s life-changing and lifesaving for our brothers and sisters who desperately need it.
