Marcy Levy was a 1999-2000 Hart Fellow in Zimbabwe working with
Inter-Country Peoples' Aid, a non-governmental organization operating
programs in peri-urban, informal settlement communities. Marcy developed and
coordinated the adolescent program for the organization, with a focus on
HIV/AIDS, and secured funding from Save the Children for a permanent youth
program.
Marcy graduated from Duke in 1999 with a degree in History. Her documentary
experience includes photographing young Kosovar Albanian refugees in the US
for the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children, Latino teenage
mothers living in North Carolina, and immigrants from the former Soviet Union
resettled in East Germany. Upon completing her Hart Fellowship, Marcy served
as Hart Fellows Program Coordinator from 2000-01. From 2001-02, she worked in
the Francophone division of Family Care International in New York, primarily
on developing a youth-friendly health services curriculum for the National
School of Public Health in Burkina Faso. In 2003, she worked in Uganda with
a community-based HIV/AIDS orphan support program, in Cambodia with a joint
EU/UNFPA program on adolescent health, and with Médecins Sans Frontières on a
project looking at how to define and assess social, cultural, political and
economic vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Marcy graduated in the spring of 2004 from
Harvard's School of Public Health with a Masters in Population and International
Health. Her work during her graduate education focused on issues impacting youth
in developing and post-conflict countries, primarily HIV/AIDS, migration, and
human rights.
