Creative & experienced
Creative and experienced
We have practiced creative problem-solving for 25 years throughout the globe. Our work includes designing programs and projects in; infectious diseases; nutrition; maternal, neonatal and child health; emerging pandemic threats; environmental conservation, Water, and Sanitation; Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment; Democracy, Human Rights and Governance; and family planning and reproductive health.
This experience has taught us that the path to solutions that last starts with the needs, aspirations, and knowledge of the population being served and requires an understanding of the intrinsic link between health, environmental, social, and economic challenges. We have also learned that transformative change has to include meeting populations where they are, including where they work, live and play through workplace and community initiatives.
Academics & entrepreneurs
Today, we continue to break new ground. We are leading a direct-to-consumer initiative that is putting video game technology to work to increase fertility awareness and reproductive health knowledge among adolescents in India. This project is in alignment with our ongoing commitment to using discovery and decision-making tools to affect global health results.
Nimble & trustworthy
We build nimble teams that foster innovation and lasting change by achieving the right mix of local and global knowledge and public and private expertise. We keep the communities we serve at the center of everything we do. And we do what we say we’re going to do. We ensure the innovations we help create result in real change for people who are too often the last to benefit from the world’s best solutions.
