A Crisis We Can Change!

In 2024, over half of Somalia’s population was undernourished and the situation has only worsened. With USAID food aid cut and government nutrition funding exhausted, 45% of children under five are acutely malnourished, and families have stopped coming to clinics.

At TIP, we believe every child deserves access to nutrition and care. That’s why we’re teaming up with the Banadir Primary Health Care Consortium and Aheza to raise $20,000 and deliver 28 metric tons of fortified porridge to clinics in Mogadishu.

This food saves lives. It restores trust. And it’s just the beginning.

Backed by a 42% stunting reduction in Rwanda, Aheza is a proven, scalable solution ready for expansion.

You can be the bridge from crisis to care. Join us.

Connecting Through Hope: Transforming Lives Across Borders

At TIP Global Health, we are using lessons learned in Rwanda to address healthcare gaps in California’s Mixteco communities. With only 62% of indigenous women and 24% of men accessing care, we are working to build trust and ensure culturally relevant healthcare is accessible to all.

One of the most meaningful partnerships we’ve developed is with traditional healer Señora Fe, whose wisdom and guidance are helping us bridge tradition and modern healthcare. Her insights remind us that building trust requires connection, respect, and creativity.

Together, we’re honoring traditions, fostering trust, and transforming lives.

Building Hope: Paving the Way for a Brighter Future

As we close out an impactful year, TIP Global Health is focused on scaling innovative solutions to address pressing healthcare challenges.

In Somalia, our partnership with the Banadir Primary Health Care Consortium is transforming maternal and child health with the E-Heza digital platform. By 2025, we aim to increase antenatal care by 85% and improve immunization rates by 10%, laying the foundation for a sustainable, resilient healthcare system.

In Rwanda, Aheza Fortified Food Solutions is tackling malnutrition by producing fortified porridge and empowering community health worker (CHW) networks. The success in Gakenke District, where underweight rates have dropped to 6.2%, inspires expansion to other districts.

From Somalia to Rwanda, our mission is to create data-driven, community-led healthcare systems that transform lives for generations. Join us in building a healthier future.

From Hope to Action: TIP Global Health’s Mission to Embrace Change

This year, TIP Global Health took bold steps to transform healthcare:
- Launching the Resilience Messaging Program to support Rwanda’s frontline healthcare workers, delivering tools to manage stress and build resilience.
- Partnering with Mathematica to address childhood stunting, affecting 33% of Rwandan children under five, by evaluating E-Heza’s impact on maternal and child health.

Your support helps us strengthen healthcare systems and improve lives across East Africa. Join us in building a healthier, more resilient future—one community at a time.

Hope is our foundation at TIP Global Health!
With a vision to reach 1.5 million lives across three countries by 2026, we’re committed to building resilient, community-centered healthcare systems. Our recent work in Burundi, alongside the Ministry of Health and Village Health Works, brings the E-Heza digital tool to 200 Community Health Workers, impacting 200,000 lives. Together, we’re advancing healthcare innovation and fostering a brighter future for all. Join us in this mission of hope.

Empowering health workers, transforming lives!
This week, TIP Global Health had the privilege of hosting Hillary Omala, Director of Investment at Dovetail Impact Foundation. Our healthcare workers showcased the revolutionary impact of E-Heza in delivering quality primary healthcare to communities in need.

We’re scaling up across 10 districts in Rwanda, reaching 3.2 million people, and expanding in Burundi and Somalia in collaboration with local Ministries of Health. With Dovetail’s strategic support, we are transforming communities and creating a brighter, healthier future for all.

We are excited to share that our Co-CEO, Wendy Leonard, and Angele Bienvenue Ishimwe recently attended the Izumi Foundation Partners meeting. Wendy was part of the "Designing and Leveraging Health Technologies for Quality and Scale" panel, while Angele contributed to the "Caring for All People: Emerging Opportunities for Compassion and Hope" panel.

The event brought together leaders in health technology to share insights and strategies for improving global healthcare. We are proud to be part of such meaningful conversations and to continue our mission to advance healthcare access and innovation.

We successfully completed the Child Scorecard Pilot in Gasabo District with incredible outcomes. The pilot involved two health centers and 169 community health workers serving 45 villages. Here are some highlights:

User proficiency scores: 71% to 100% with a median of 90%
Care provided to 416 pregnant women and 5,706 children under two
Significant decrease in acute malnutrition from december (8.02%) to february (5.9%)

Based on this success, we've expanded E-Heza to three new health centers and are planning further training in Nyabihu, Ngororero, and Rutsiro districts. Special thanks to Rwanda's NCDA for this great collaboration!

Together, we are making a tangible difference in improving child health outcomes.

Reflecting on our participation in the SKOLL Forum in Oxford, UK, we're truly inspired by the transformative discussions at the International Development Innovation Alliance meeting and the Million Lives Collective session. It was an honor to contribute insights on scaling innovation, resonating deeply with TIP Global Health's mission to impact 10 million lives across 10 countries in a decade. Our pioneering E-heza Data Solutions is a key driver for top-tier primary healthcare delivery. Scaling innovation requires a collaborative ecosystem. Let's harness our collective strength to innovate, collaborate, and drive unparalleled social impact.

We were honored to host the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) team at TIP Global Health for a productive and insightful visit. It was a great opportunity to showcase the transformative impact of our E-heza platform on quality primary healthcare delivery, working hand in hand with the Government of Rwanda and Ministry of Health Rwanda to strengthen the health system.

From discussions on integrating E-heza with DHIS2 to addressing challenges such as double reporting and connectivity in remote areas, it was a valuable exchange of ideas. The BMGF team's admiration for E-heza's role in serving the health ecosystem by linking community, health center, and hospital, providing real-time data for decision making, and their appreciation for our ongoing efforts in scaling to new countries like Burundi and Somalia, further motivates us to continue our mission of improving healthcare access and outcomes worldwide.

Many thanks to Melissa Miles, Julie Frye, Mayindo Jean Kagubare, and Mob for visiting us and sharing such powerful insights.

Looking forward to further collaboration with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as we work towards our shared goal of advancing global health.

On this special day, we want to shine a spotlight on the heart and soul of healthcare—our community health workers. Their unwavering commitment, tireless efforts, and compassionate care have been instrumental in transforming lives across our communities. They work behind the scenes, but today, we bring them to the forefront to say a massive thank you! You are the real MVPs in our journey towards a healthier, happier world.
