Our Mission
VillageReach’s mission is to to save lives and improve well being in developing countries by increasing last-mile access to healthcare and investing in social businesses that address gaps in health and community infrastructure.
All too frequently lifesaving vaccines and medical interventions are available in developing countries, but are unable to reach any further than the urban areas. The extraordinary resources and infrastructure needed to transport critical supplies to remote communities and safely administer them makes the cost and logistics of reaching those most in need prohibitive.
Up to 70% of the developing world lives in rural areas with limited access  to healthcare and other essential services.
Three million children die annually from vaccine-preventable diseases, many of whom live in remote areas beyond the reach of health services.
The cost of delivering and administering vaccines is about five times higher to a rural then an urban area.

We create solutions that:

  Build Local Capacity through participatory processes to improve leadership, work practices and environment, worker competencies, and community engagement;
  Improve Logistics Management by streamlining planning and supply-chain systems and by supporting sound management through analytic solutions;
  Fill Critical Infrastructure Gaps by establishing and supporting social enterprises to meet needs in areas such as transport, power, refrigeration, communication, and waste management;
  Mobilize Communities to take greater ownership of public systems that exist to serve the community – generating a social atmosphere of higher expectations and greater accountability.
