The UC Davis Grameen Foundation Club, located on the campus of the University of California Davis, was started in 2016 by a small group of students wanting to make an impact as local and global citizens. The club supports Grameen Foundation because its founders did their research; they were impressed by Grameen’s successful track record working with local partners to create solutions that are sustainable and scalable. As some of the club’s founders are pre-med students, they feel a close connection to Grameen’s health programs, and their interest in issues like food security and technology accessibility also make Grameen Foundation the natural choice for them. They meet regularly to learn about global issues, and they fundraise to support Grameen’s empowerment programs.
