Living Goods aims to improve the lives of tens of millions of underserved people by ensuring every woman and child has access to basic community health. We have developed a model for community health that has been independently proven to reduce child mortality by 27%. And we do this extremely cost-effectively at a net cost of less than $2 per person per year. Our goal now is to spread impact by strengthening community health systems across the developing world. But to achieve multi-national scale and to truly create systemic change, we need to do more than grow our own direct operations. We must also spread impact through strategic partnerships with government and NGOs.
Living Goods partners closely with the Governments of Kenya and Uganda to improve community health in areas where we have direct operations. We are also spreading impact and strengthening community health systems through assisted networks led by Governments and NGO partners including BRAC, Care International, the Clinton Foundation, Marie Stopes, and PSI. We seek to build on this success and in a big way, particularly working more closely with government. That’s where you come in!
