Global Health Corps pairs intelligent and
passionate fellows with organizations that require new thinking and innovative
solutions. We provide these young leaders with the tools to remain connected
after their fellowship year finishes, deepening their ability to enact change
through heightened skills and strong partnerships. We currently place fellows
in Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, the United States, and Zambia.
LifeNet International is guided by the
belief that every individual deserves an equal opportunity to lead a healthy
and whole life. It strives to improve the quality of health systems from the
ground up. We are dedicated to health-systems strengthening. Through the framework
of partnership with church-based health centers, we innovate and implement
pragmatic responses to everyday health challenges facing the poor. We partner
with churches as we have found that they provide more patients higher-quality
care at lower cost than their counterparts: churches often operate networks of
health centers as well as educational and religious facilities, making them
powerful vehicles for community-wide change. LN multiplies the impact of this
“by the community, for the community” system by making strategic investments in
the human capital behind it.
