Future impact: In 2020, we aim to support governments to launch HIV/maternal syphilis testing programs in two countries - stay tuned for details. We’re also aiming to help India’s government scale their iron and folic acid supplementation program to cost-effectively reach 15 million kids across four states.

Building a worm-free world: We’re aiming to reach over 300 million kids with deworming treatment, at a cost of less than $0.50 per treatment. Notably, this year will be the first time Sindh, Pakistan, and Lagos, Nigeria conduct mass, school-based deworming with our support.

Delivering safe water: To sustain and grow safe water access for 4 million people in rural sub-saharan Africa, we'll retrain thousands of local community promoters to reinvigorate their education and advocacy efforts - enabling high adoption among communities.
