What We Do

Annually, 120 million children under age five suffer from an acute respiratory illness globally, resulting in one million deaths and numerous survivors facing disability. 

The Vayu Global Health Foundation is dedicated to tackling this critical challenge by implementing and scaling innovative solutions that give children the care they need to survive and thrive worldwide.

Our Previous Work

Maternal mortality has long been one of the greatest health disparities in the world. Every two minutes, a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth, most of which are preventable.

The Vayu Global Health Foundation has spent more than a decade developing solutions to improve maternal survival worldwide.
