Focus areas

Economic empowerment and health go together

Sustainable health and social outcomes are closely linked to economic empowerment, skills development and strong leadership. Our Entrepreneurship, Skills and Leadership pillar bridges the gap between skills acquisition, enterprise development and market opportunities.

Alongside livelihoods, we nurture transformational leadership at community and institutional levels, so that the people closest to the problems are equipped to lead the solutions.
