Venture Strategies is a unique nonprofit organization combining scientific evidence about tractable problems in health with opportunities inherent in the power of local market forces around the world. We are using business approaches to find ways to help large numbers of low income people. 

At the same time we are redefining how a U.S. nonprofit working internationally should function, and what it should be able to achieve by leveraging donor funds. 

Government health services frequently do not have the capacity to reach most of their low-income populations. The sad reality is that in developing countries the poorer people are, the higher percentage of their health care is paid for out of their own pockets. Often the products they need to achieve better health are not available to them at affordable prices. 

We are working with medical leaders, government officials and pharmaceutical manufacturers around the world to find ways to make high quality, low cost, off-patent products available to low income people through market distribution systems.
