A collection of our writing
Over the years, we have had the privilege to experience, study, and reflect on the health and social systems of many countries.
From the stories shared with us by communities over a humble meal, to the discussions across the tables of policymakers, we have gained deeper insight into the realities on the ground. In settings of extreme scarcity, we have learned how challenges can be overcome through creative ingenuity. And in places where we have witnessed the heart-wrenching tragedies that befall humanity, we have also celebrated the joyful hope of people who have transcended these.
These experiences have informed the academic studies we have undertaken and have motivated us to contribute answers to the questioning global health space. We have also started capturing some of our ways of working, intending to make it easier for others to follow along on the same journey.
Through all this, we have come to believe that by giving creativity and hope space and permission in our health and social systems, achieving a vision of healing, flourishing, and abundance is indeed possible.

Reflections from a decade in global health
The author Walter Brueggemann reminds us that ‘memory allows for possibility to emerge’. Thus, at regular intervals, our team takes a step back to remember and reflect on the people we met, the experiences we had, and how both have changed how we think about the world and ourselves. In the section below, you will find a compilation of articles we have written over time.
