From one act of compassion after the Beirut Port explosion to a global movement for healthcare equity, Marina El Khawand turned a moment of crisis into a lifelong mission. In this episode of Youth in Action, we sit down with the founder and president of Medonations to explore how a simple search for life-saving medication evolved into one of Lebanon's most impactful youth-led humanitarian organizations.
Marina shares the inspiring story behind Medonations, the challenges of building an NGO from the ground up, how innovation and artificial intelligence are transforming access to healthcare, and why she believes young people have the power to transform entire systems. Together, we discuss leadership, resilience, social entrepreneurship, and the importance of ensuring that healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
