Our Work

Advancing global health starts with building the capacity of communities and countries to address the public health problems they face. That’s why PHI focuses on training, supporting and advising providers, policymakers and advocates from different settings in all regions of the world. We offer technical expertise to advance comprehensive solutions to a broad range of global health challenges, with a particular focus on addressing the health needs of marginalized communities. We convene multi-sector partners, advocate for policies that support health, sustainable development and reproductive rights, build the capacity of local health systems, organizations and advocates, and research reproductive health prevention strategies, factors driving the spread of HIV/AIDS, global patterns of tobacco use and more.

Building Health Equity

Indigenous Mixtec and Zapotec communities in Oaxaca, Mexico and California both face many similar social, economic and health barriers, but there is often no opportunity for these culturally similar but geographically separate groups to connect and learn from each other. In 2024, PHI’s Center for Wellness and Nutrition and partners launched Unidad Ñuu Savi: Solidaridad Entre Las Fronteras (Solidarity Beyond Borders: Connecting for a Better Future), a project designed to generate community-driven solutions and foster collaborative relationships between partners from each respective site. By engaging in shared learning opportunities rooted in local expertise and lived experiences, communities were able to build new relationships and implement practical, culturally grounded solutions—including seed banks, women’s savings groups, recipe exchanges, Mixteco-speaking doulas and health advocates, and a bi-national mentorship initiative to promote mental health, self-care and gender equity.
