HEALTH AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES ARE INTIMATELY CONNECTED.
The Izumi Foundation looks for
promising, practical innovations that reduce the
burden of infectious disease while also strengthening the ability of communities
to keep children and families healthy. Our aim is to do as much as possible, with
limited resources, to improve the health outcomes of people living in the most
impoverished areas of Africa, Central America, and South America.
The Izumi Foundation provides resources to organizations that share its
commitment to delivering lasting, cost-effective improvements that build local
health care capacity. We are especially interested in projects that advance maternal
and child health.
We support projects in five areas:
- infectious diseases with high morbidity and mortality
- neglected tropical diseases
- malnutrition
- maternal and neonatal health
- health care infrastructure
