The Staff at PWH take a little time to thank the PWH volunteers!

Join Elizabeth McLellan, Tara Sharafudheen and Ekhlas Ahmed on a panel discussion of how Empowered Women are helping to Empower other women locally and globally.

"While we aren’t back to our normal practices of drop-in volunteering, we are embracing this new normal and as always I am so grateful for all that our volunteers are accomplishing. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to have more hustle and bustle throughout the warehouse!" Elizabeth McLellan, Founder and President

Over the past few months we have watched the spread of Covid-19 in our country and throughout the world, realizing day by day the scope of this pandemic, measuring it both in social and economic consequences. We have also watched our communities join together to help one another, protect the most vulnerable, and celebrate acts of kindness. It is an important reminder during trying times, that we all can and must focus on the good.

Created by Storm Warriors International. Partners for World Health collects medical supplies and equipment from healthcare facilities, manufacturers, other organizations, and individuals. We sort, evaluate, repackage, and prepare these supplies and equipment for distribution to individuals, communities, and healthcare facilities in need. Our work limits the impact on the environment by diverting discarded materials from landfills and provides needed health care resources to the developing world. PWH aims to improve health conditions by sending medical personnel on medical missions to developing countries and educating New England communities about global health issues.

The Deborah Morton Award recognizes Maine women who have become distinguished by their careers and public service, or whose leadership in civic, cultural or social causes has been exceptional. Our founder, Elizabeth McLellan, was one of the three women who were honored this year.
