Global Health Equity Foundation is a philanthropic organization with the intent of making tangible improvements toward global health equity by engaging in and interlinking research, advocacy and capacity building. We aspire to become the source for knowledge on health equity and a major contributor to human and community development worldwide. We believe Global Health Equity must become an essential and core discipline for global public health education and application in global health governance.
Research
Aimed at the collection, measurement, analysis, and presentation of quantitative data in order to make qualitative, influential recommendations to health leaders and grassroots actors with the result of improving health equity in their given population. These activities will produce research methodologies and tools for developing contextual solutions specific to the customs and culture of a given population.
Advocacy
Aimed at raising awareness of health inequities, educating about current and potential solutions, and communicating specifically on behalf of displaced populations with regard to their lack of access to healthcare, health education, health prevention services and impartiality in treatment. These activities will produce effective and provocative media that will be widely distributed and available in a variety of formats.
Capacity Building
Aimed at improving the local conditions for a given population with the goal of making a lasting, positive change in the way that this population gains access to healthcare, health education, health prevention services and impartiality in treatment. These activities will build on existing knowledge and experience and improve individual and group skills through training, coaching and community building.
