Picture this: We can radically improve the course of human development and balance the scales of health equity. We can work to make it unheard of for a child to die of malaria. We can help ensure that no child dies of preventable diarrhea. Imagine that day.
At PATH, we not only imagine that day, but see it getting closer all the time. A day when all people have the tools they need to thrive no matter where they live.
By coming together, we can impact global outcomes
I believe that many of the problems we still face in the 21st century—eliminating polio, mitigating climate change, or making sure both girls and boys get a quality education—will be solved by multisector partnerships and innovation. If you believe that too, I invite you to partner with us and be part of the solution.
At PATH, we target the leading health problems in low- and middle-income countries by tackling them from every angle—prevention, detection, and treatment—using a “toolkit of innovation.” To make that happen, our work almost always involves teams from across PATH and partners from governments, industry, and local community organizations.
On a personal level, I’ve always been interested in bringing people and ideas together to solve challenges. And that’s what PATH does: we use the power of innovation to improve the trajectory of communities and individuals, so everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
We have a great opportunity to enact change, now
With staff and partners on the ground around the world, especially across Africa and Asia, and an emphasis on finding innovative solutions, we often need to move quickly, to take experimental approaches, to support proof-of-concept work, to pilot transformative strategies.

For instance, PATH developed a partnership to advance an affordable vaccine with the potential to safeguard millions of people against a fast-moving brain infection called Japanese encephalitis. Donations from our supporters helped make it possible for thousands of children in Southeast Asia to avoid permanent neurological damage each year from the disease.
We invite you to be our collaborator
We know that by coming together, we can have the greatest impact.
This is why we need your support, to continue making a difference as we find lifesaving solutions, to bring the most promising of these to scale.
Help us realize a new day, together.
