Inside the October Jain Digest 2023, read how a small incident on a bus in Costa Rica got stuck to Mr. Chase and inspired him to build an organization, WATSI, which would leverage technology to bring people together from all around the world to directly
help others in need. What started as a small group of kind-hearted, hard-working volunteers has grown to help more than 25,000 people across twenty nine countries. WATSI raises money
through crowdfunding to cover healthcare costs for patients who otherwise would not be able to afford their needed treatments. In this article, Mackinnon Engen, the Executive Director
of WATSI, provides us with more information about their operations and success stories.
If you’re interested in authoring an article for the February 2023 Jain Digest, please connect at the below-mentioned contact details.
YJP completed their National Dinner 2022, by hosting 32 in-person dinners across 6 regions, 1 virtual dinner, and 9 college chapters. They had 300 + attendees. Read more about it below.

WATSI - Making Healthcare a Reality for All by Mackinnon Engen
WATSI is a non-profit organization that funds healthcare for people in the Global South. The story begins in rural Costa Rica when Chase, the co-founder of WATSI, was serving
as a Peace Corps volunteer. While riding on a bus, Chase saw a woman asking passengers for donations to help pay for her son’s medical care. Without the support of others, her son
would not receive the healthcare he needed. This stuck with Chase and inspired him to build an organization that would leverage technology to bring people together from all around
the world to directly help others in need.
What started as a small group of kind-hearted, hard-working volunteers has grown to help more than 25,000 people across 29 countries. WATSI raises money through crowdfunding
to cover healthcare costs for patients who otherwise would not be able to afford their needed treatments. In this article Mackinnon Engen, the Executive Director of WATSI, provides
us more information about their operations and success stories.
