Project Heel is student-run and student-founded global health organization based at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Project Heel's overarching mission is to engage undergraduate students in international service experiences to facilitate culturally relevant and locally-driven sustainable development in Lawra and Kumasi, Ghana. Project Heel has pledged a comprehensive commitment to the health and wellness of the people of Ghana in an effort to improve access to basic health knowledge, overall quality of care, and availability of vital medical supplies. The ultimate goal of Project Heel is community-based sustainability with local health officials leading such initiatives. Primary projects include:

Providing individual first aid kits containing basic medical supplies that are safe and effective for family use
Holding school and community-based educational workshops to provide fundamental information about the use of items in the first aid kits and available medical resources in the area
Providing donated clothing to school children in need from preschool through sixth grade
Constructing a maternity ward in the Methodist Clinic of Lawra
Create and update educational murals on the walls of local schools and clinics
Facilitating the shipment of donated medical supplies and equipment to rural hospitals in need
Continue to support and supply the local diagnostic lab for various infectious diseases of the community
