OUR STORY
We seek the most cost-effective ways to create impact for the world’s poorest. That means doing the right thing –
and doing it right
Our work started in 2008 in the Kwitanda catchment area of the Balaka district in Malawi.
By working in cooperation with the Malawian government and local partners, we explored how to build a more resilient health system while maximizing long-term impact. Since then, we have continued to center our work around sustainable interventions and scalable solutions to improve access to health services and quality education, serving the people who need it most.
