Summary
The high rates of tuberculosis in Nunavut is something two Montreal women were ashamed to only recently learn about, despite their years of global work combating the infectious disease.
“We couldn’t just sit at home and do nothing,” said Rachel Kiddell-Monroe, general director of the non-profit See Change Initiative.
She has years of experience working with Médecins Sans Frontières, while Madlen Nash has worked abroad on TB in India and South Africa for the past three years. Together, they launched the non-profit, which had its first fundraising event in Montreal on Thursday.
