Bass Connections in Peru: Turning Learning into Lifesaving

In rural Peru, economic growth can come at a hefty environmental cost. Yet environmental messages don’t resonate when workers need to support their families.

Bill Pan and his team, including Bass Connections students, are refocusing the conversation. They’re learning that they can make inroads with the community by focusing on the ways environmental damage can also harm human health. By focusing their outreach on family health, they have been able to build trust, build partnerships and make a positive impact on policy change.

Transport yourself to a village in the Amazon with Duke professors and students who are researching the health impacts of gold mining in the Peruvian rainforest.

Duke Forward, Duke University’s seven-year fundraising campaign, raised $3.85 billion between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2017. The campaign allowed us to enrich the student experience in and out of the classroom, invest in exceptional faculty and support research and initiatives focused on training leaders to address society’s most pressing challenges. Every dollar donated to Duke’s 10 schools and units, Duke Health or university programs and initiatives counted toward the campaign’s goal.
