We aim to save lives at scale by supporting digitally empowered community health workers.
Living Goods aims to save lives at scale by supporting digitally empowered community health workers. We work with governments and partners to leverage smart mobile technology, rigorously strengthen performance, and relentlessly innovate to cost-effectively deliver high-quality, impactful health services.
We are deeply focused on systemic change to transform access to primary health care for mothers and children. We put patients first and strive to create a world in which every mother gives birth safely and no child dies from an easily treatable–or preventable–disease like malaria, pneumonia, or diarrhea. We believe universal health care is possible when community health workers are equipped to serve as the engine for stronger health systems.
By 2026, Living Goods will significantly improve health outcomes for at least 9.7 million people in three countries, and support governments to transition to substantial ownership of community health care delivery.
This strategy is ambitiously centered on supporting governments to truly own and invest in stronger national health systems. We are trying to tackle huge underlying issues and have set targets that we know will be difficult to achieve.

Marathoning to empower communities to fight disease
My name is Molly, and I am running in the New York City marathon this November! Unlike my siblings, I am not necessarily fast and don’t necessarily love training. Alas. I am 10 weeks into training and have 10 weeks left. As it gets tougher and my calves get tighter, I wanted to assign some purpose & reach out to my loved ones. I have been supporting Living Goods monthly since 2021, driven by a desire to improve women’s health globally and reallocate resources to people who deserve it. “A 2013 randomized control trial of Living Goods supported Community Health Workers demonstrated a 27% reduction in under-5 mortality at an estimated average cost of $68 per life-year saved. A 2021 randomized control trial further linked Living Good’s community health program in Uganda to a 28% reduction in child mortality. ” See above. These people are change-makers in Kenya, Uganda, and Burkina Faso, training and compensating locals to deliver life-saving care. They support pregnant women, sexual/reproductive health, immunization, children with pneumonia/malaria, and address the impacts of climate change. It’s remarkable. Please partner with me in support of these dedicated difference-makers. With so much gratitude, Molly
