Glasgow ARM

Glasgow ARM Glasgow ARM is a charity based at the University of Glasgow, we work to reduce hardship for healthcare students at the University of Rwanda.

Glasgow ARM was created as a joint student-staff collaboration at the University of Glasgow. It was formed in response to a staff member (Professor Phil Cotton) working on sabbatical at the University of Rwanda. A number of students at the university were approaching him as Principal of the College, intending to drop out of their studies for reasons of financial hardship. A fund was set up at the

University to protect these students, and the charity to help support it. A number of students at the University face severe challenges towards their education, lacking the funds for academic resources, tuition fees, or accommodation. These day to day trials are incompatible with an excellent education. Health is central to the development of all countries. By enabling the next generation of healthcare workers in Rwanda, we can make a vast and sustained contribution to the health of the country, and its future.

Our appeal has reached the University Newsletter again! If you're replacing your laptop over Christmas, we might be able to pass it on to someone else who could use it.

Have you replaced your laptop in the past five years? Do you have a University laptop in a drawer that you no longer use? Glasgow ARM can give old laptops a new life and a happy home!

We were asked to feature our Laptop Appeal at the MVLS College Christmas Council. See if you can spot our new posters.
