Living Goods

Living Goods (LG) is a global organization led from Nairobi, Kenya, that’s dedicated to ensuring women and children don’t die from easily preventable and treatable diseases by providing high-quality, life-saving health care at their doorsteps.

For the past 15 years, Living Goods has partnered with African governments to ensure that community health workers (CHWs) have the tools, support, and knowledge they need to be successful and reach their full potential. They support networks of trusted CHWs to transform health outcomes for women and children and work to advance system change by partnering with governments to sustainably lead. Living Goods also focuses on ensuring CHWs are treated as essential health workers who should be digitized, equipped, supervised, and compensated—so they can make the greatest impact—and harness community-level data to transform health systems. They focus on treating some of the deadliest but most easily treatable childhood diseases, supporting women of reproductive age with pregnancy support and family planning, and ensuring every child is fully vaccinated. With operations in Kenya, Uganda, and Burkina Faso (and a small support office of 15 people in the US), in 2023 Living Goods supported more than 12,000 CHWs to assist more than 6 million people.
