WGHO is committed to bringing improved survival rates to impoverished communities where women and children face continued barriers to healthcare, nutrition, education, and clean and safe living environments. We work on pilot projects that demonstrate our model of intervention, which is working to be culturally sensitive, reduce diplicantion, based in science, includes rigourous monitoring, and evaluation and improves program and healthcare service capacity. We work to avoid duplication and wasted resources through community analysis by scientific advisory board members and project development based in systems integration theory and capacity building.
WGHO also takes the role of a Think-Tank, advocating for scientifically based intervention programs through position papers, outreach, and messaging. We hope to build models that can be used by other organizations by applying methodology provided to us by UCL, Institute of Child Health. Our programs are in various phases of development in Bihar, Nepal where we have scientiific advisory members taking the lead. One of the hallmork aspects of WGHO is that we operate mostly on volunteer time, which enables the most passionate people to contribute, keeps overhead costs low, helping keep all of the funds going directly to the programs for women, and children who need it most.
