Who we are

We are here to help the World Health Organization (WHO) and its partners to aid critical health projects across the world – protecting children from disease; helping women to give birth safely in emergencies; and supplying hospitals with essential medicines.

But that’s not all we do. We bring together the people trying to solve the world’s most urgent health challenges with those who are able to fund their work. This funding paves the way for dynamic partnerships, innovations in health technology and more sustainable health systems. And, to ensure that everyone, everywhere has an equitable chance to thrive.

Are you ready to be part of something big? We seek passionate professionals dedicated to health equity and innovation. Ideal candidates are solution-oriented, collaborative, and driven by a desire to make a global impact. By joining us, you’ll become part of a people-focused, forward-thinking organization that values creativity and diverse perspectives.

Our mission

To ignite private funding and cultivate dynamic partnerships, driving WHO’s mission, championing health, and protecting the vulnerable. We express that mission by simply asking everyone to “Share the Health”. We bring the right people to the table to help fast-track health projects worldwide – helping people in need, wherever they are.
