Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide health care and education to underserved and hard to reach communities through innovative and sustainable programs designed to meet the needs of individual communities, have the ability to plug into - not disrupt - ongoing national health strategies and be easily expanded nation wide and beyond.

What it reported doing in 2024

HEALTH2GO has been awarded a Memorandum of Understanding for 5 years with Ghana Health Service and The Ministry to Health to increase the number of communities we will be serving following the same protocol we have been using in our current communities. This protocol includes providing bikes for transportation, necessary uniforms, equipment, health-care information, and medicines as well as a means to report into the national health services all relevant information. We also provide quarterly educational seminars on local and world wide health issues germane to ensure we are providing up to date care and education to our community workers.Additionally we have been recognized in the British Journal of Medicine with a quantitative exctract outlining the success of Health2Go in our current communities, including a reduction in mortality rates by 71% of children 5 and under.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
