Support health care as a human right

Partners In Health delivers high-quality health care to some of the world's poorest communities, partnering with local governments on HIV, TB and other care in countries including Malawi, Lesotho, Haiti, Peru and Sierra Leone. Its model emphasises training and paying local community health workers, rather than relying mainly on visiting foreign medical staff.

Our take

Distinguishes itself by partnering directly with local governments rather than running parallel systems — a good fit if you want your gift to strengthen public health infrastructure rather than a standalone charity operation. Training and paying local community health workers, rather than relying on visiting foreign staff, also means the capacity it builds stays in the community long-term.
