About us
Millions of people have little or no chance of good health, simply because of where they were born, live, or work. At the WHO Foundation, we think that’s unfair and must change. We are working to improve the situation by connecting donors with amazing organizations on the ground whose projects are making a huge difference to people’s lives. Our links with the WHO mean we can make these connections all over the world, ultimately making healthcare fairer. While we share WHO's vision of a world where health knows no boundaries, the WHO Foundation operates independently.

Investing in health through the World Health Organization is directly saving lives and improving the lives of communities worldwide, including the most marginalized. This impact is evident in WHO's latest update on Sudan and South Sudan, where despite ongoing crises, they persist in delivering essential healthcare services. From life-saving treatment for malnourished children to distributing emergency supplies in conflict zones, donor contributions to WHO make a significant impact every day. It's crucial that donors continue to prioritize global health, and there's a significant opportunity for corporate entities and philanthropists to play a pivotal role here. If you're interested in learning more about the programs you can support, we encourage you to reach out to us. Together, we can make a lasting difference in global health. #HealthForAll #InvestInHealth #InvestInWHO #ShareTheHealth https://bit.ly/3SaYFaA

Thank you, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, for graciously hosting our Board and leadership team at the World Health Organization earlier this week! Public health on a global scale is at a critical juncture, and it's imperative that we unite efforts to ensure everyone, everywhere has access to essential healthcare. Investing in WHO makes sense, and it's crucial that we view health as an investment, not just a cost. Prioritizing health paves the way for stronger economies, more resilient communities, and a healthier future for all. Let's continue rallying support and inspiring changemakers and investors to join us in this vital mission. Together, we can drive meaningful change and advance equitable access to healthcare worldwide. #HealthForAll #InvestInWHO #ShareTheHealth
