Global Communities champions innovative solutions to complex challenges at the intersection of humanitarian assistance, sustainable development and financial inclusion. We ensure our approaches are as dynamic and diverse as the communities we serve.
In 2024, we combined with IntraHealth International, a longtime pioneer in solving global health challenges by focusing on health systems and the people who power them.
Together, we envision a world of expanded opportunity, where crises give way to resilience and all people have the care and resources they need to thrive.
