Global Health Ministries
2024 Year In Review
A Note From Our Executive Director
In 2024, in partnership with donors and volunteers across America, GHM grew the impact we were able to make around the world. Together we “helped the hands that heal” in many remote communities where access to health education and services is virtually non-existent. Yet, in 2025, needs are growing exponentially due to major cutbacks in US international assistance. Together, we remain steadfast in solidarity with our neighbors around the globe.
