Director’s Message

Although I didn’t know it at the time, the journey of the Foundation started when I was 6 years old. It was the time when my mother observed an injustice that she could not bear—a health professional turned away a sick mother and child because they could not afford to pay for his services. She grabbed my arms, looked deep into my eyes (and soul) and said that when I grow up, I must do everything in my power to help others. My father added a simpler goal, he said that whatever you do, ‘Go Big!’

With their support I was fortunate to have studied and worked in some amazing places around the world. I worked in public and private health, in supply chain, infection prevention, responding to COVID; but the magic really happened when we combined our health activities with digital learning technologies. And now we spread knowledge and learning across all LMICs, at scale, at low cost and reach front line workers and teachers who are saving and transforming lives.

We were able to do this because of our committed team who are more like family; and our partners who believed in us and gave us opportunities (and challenges) to follow our mission to ‘transform the way people learn, work and save lives’.

Join us, guide us, help
