Policy Plan

OBJECTIVES

We are a non-profit organization that aims to increase access to healthcare, particularly sexual and reproductive health care (SRH), globally. We will achieve this by supporting the efforts of local and grassroots organizations and networks working around the world to help the communities most in need of healthcare access, and connecting them to additional resources and partners. We will also convene stakeholders who share our mission.

THEORY OF CHANGE

Millions of people living across the world, including high-income countries, lack access to healthcare, such as SRH that is affordable and relevant to their lifestyles. We believe that local and grassroots organizations and networks are best placed to assist communities in meeting their healthcare needs. These organizations struggle to get adequate funding and face barriers to growth and connecting to wider networks. By providing these organizations with small grants and other resources, we can strengthen their capacities and enable them to grow their programs as well as test out new ideas to improve the quality, availability, accessibility and affordability of SRH. By connecting them to global networks with aligned missions, we can further strengthen their reach and provide learning and exchange opportunities.
