About us
Making a difference - together
Gnosjo Global Association is member financed and creates small, mobile, flexible, and cost-effective health care teams with a focus on women’s health. We travel to locations in need of our competence, health care and education. Where it is needed the most.
The association was established in 2018 to channel resources from those that want to give, directly to those in need. Gnosjo Global works with health care and specifically health connected to women and children. Through a membership or sponsorship, you can be a part of helping people in places you might never visit. You give. We make a difference – together.
Gnosjo Global Association is an organization which creates prerequisites for health for vulnerable people. Our founder Monica Hellström is very passionate about helping others. After dedicating half of her professional life within Swedish health care (and with an interest in volunteering in vulnerable areas), the idea of forming an organization that could help more people was born.
