Programs described in its return (3)
- $56,485 spent. The organization continued its support for health care in high-mortality areas of rural Africa. The expansion to new areas focused on delivering free health services to combat the main child killers including pneumonia, malaria, and diarrheal dehydration. Some of the health services are provided by paid workers who reside in the village. Meanwhile the organization continued to work with mobile health workers on motorcycles and expanded the range of free services they provide. One key feature of the program is that almost all health services are delivered in the village, since travel is often very difficult for villagers due to such factors as expense, insecurity, and restrictions on women. Another key feature is a focus on the highest impact interventions so as to maximize the number of deaths averted. In addition to grants, the resources provided by To Live included over 2,800 estimated hours of volunteer time.
- $54,589 spent. The organization worked on advocacy to improve health outcomes in developing countries. The main area of work was advocacy with Congressional committees with a view to enhancing the effectiveness and front-line focus of US global health programs. The organization continued to work on a bipartisan basis to engage allies in the advocacy, including working with family physicians and others. Advocacy efforts included meetings on Capitol Hill and other communications with Congress as well as letters to the editors to highlight issues related to global health program effectiveness. The main expenditure item for this program service was professional fees, but over 2,000 hours of volunteer time were also contributed.
- $20,000 spent. The organization continued its global health scholarship program to support the professional development of people who have an interest in global health work and have demonstrated talent in that area. Recipients must be studying, or shortly planning to study, for a career in the health professions; the scholarship funds are provided to help support those studies. The organization provided $20,000 of scholarship grant funding during the year.
