WHAT IS TOUCH FOUNDATION?

Touch Foundation is an international 501(c)3 non-profit organization (TIN 20-1469976) dedicated to saving lives and relieving human suffering in sub-Saharan Africa. For over 15 years, we have been improving access to care and supporting healthcare workforces in sub-Saharan Africa. We work holistically, strengthening the diverse building blocks of the health system – all of which need to be functional to enable effective delivery of care.

HISTORY

For over a decade, Touch Foundation has strengthened the health system in Tanzania, a nation facing a severe healthcare crisis.


A HISTORY OF IMPACT

When Touch Foundation launched in 2004, Tanzania faced a daunting healthcare environment. Tanzanian life expectancy was declining, infant and under-five child mortality was increasing, and Tanzania’s physician density was among the lowest in the developing world, even when compared to its sub-Saharan African neighbors.

Lowell Bryan, a Director Emeritus at McKinsey & Company, founded Touch to address this crisis. His aim was to combine the best of private and public sector approaches and expertise to increase access to essential quality healthcare for those who need it most.

Touch has supported the education of over 4,000 healthcare workers, which is approximately 10% of all skilled healthcare workers in the country. We have also strengthened healthcare delivery through investments in infrastructure, equipment, and supplies, enabling healthcare workers to use their knowledge and skills to serve people in need.

MISION

Our mission is to save lives and relieve human suffering.  We strengthen healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa, providing better access to care and improving the quality of local health systems.
