Why Start a Chapter

  • “Starting a SPAid chapter means joining a movement of passionate students dedicated to global health. You’ll develop leadership skills, make a real difference in underserved communities, and build lasting friendships with like-minded individuals”

    - Alyaan Salman, CEO & Founder of SPAid

  • “Starting a SPAid chapter has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career. We’ve already helped hundreds of families, and I’ve grown so much as a leader. It just feels good, you know, to do something that shows a tangible impact in our world to the people that need it most”

    - Evan Nayee, Vanderbilt President

  • “Starting SPAid@Brown is an exciting step toward making a real difference in healthcare access for children in underserved communities. For me, every first-aid kit represents a lifeline—an essential resource that can change lives and bring comfort where it's needed most. I’m proud to be part of a mission that’s all about compassion, connection, and creating positive change worldwide.”

    - Diva Bhatia, Brown President

  • “SPAid, in my eyes, unites compassion, camaraderie, and a sense of community as we try to improve the world medically taking care of one cut at a time.”
