Human Rights & Global Health w/ Cameron Kays
In this episode of AnthroPuzzled, we sit down with Cameron Kays, Associate Director of Programs at the World Shoe Fund, to explore the intersection of human rights, global health, and anthropology.
The World Shoe Fund is an important and impactful organization that helps different communities by supplying them with resources they don’t have access to, like footwear that provides a barrier against deadly disease. Cameron shares how her background in anthropology shaped her path in international affairs, offering fresh insights into the evolving challenges of global health. She reflects on how travel and cultural immersion influenced her work and the shifts in perspective she’s had since stepping into the world of humanitarian aid.
We also dive into the power of co-collaboration—why it’s crucial for organizations to work with local communities rather than simply providing aid. Cameron explains how she and her team prioritize partnerships with local leaders to ensure healthcare solutions are culturally informed, sustainable, and truly impactful."
