Helping fund healthcare for people around the world
CREATING A LIFE-GIVING DIFFERENCE
Watsi UofT hopes to make an impact by fundraising for patient care, educating students about the globalization of healthcare, and fostering a community of young leaders in the field of global health. We stand by our mission statement that where you are born and where you live should not determine whether you live or die.
OUR PRACTICE
Exceeding Expectations One Patient at a Time
Watsi is a global nonprofit crowd-funding platform based in San Francisco that has made low-cost but lifesaving healthcare possible for nearly 9000 people in 23 different countries, by connecting donors to patients through its website.
TWO ORGANIZATIONS. ONE GOAL
Students Leading Healthcare
Healthcare is a necessity, but not everybody has access to it. Many lives have been lost due to the unavailability of efficient medical treatment. Which is why Watsi, along with affiliates such as Watsi UofT, exist.

IMPACT
Here For You
Watsi UofT itself is helping “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages." Here is one of the goals it targets: achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all. As a student, you can be part of advancing this goal as well, as simple as participating in our fundraising events (i.e. bake sales) that will be directly funded to patients.
Here's What's Happening:
EVENTS
There’s a reason why Watsi UofT is known as the #1 student led healthcare club in University of Toronto, and part of it has to do with Watsi's radically transparent funds. 100% of your donation funds life-changing healthcare. That's right, 100%. At Watsi UofT, all our efforts ensure our patients receive the funds they need. No strings attached.
