John,

Our people and partners are taking on big challenges in 150 countries around the world. Recently, we asked them to give us an inside look at the work they're doing.

What they shared shows how our teams are working to protect coral reefs off Palau, tackling road safety in Uganda, helping women entrepreneurs in India, promoting racial wealth equity in the U.S., and more. We even got a front-row seat to a day in the life of a mayor.
/> Watch the short videos below to see how our mission to ensure better, longer lives for as many people as possible takes shape all over the planet.
