  • What We Do
  • Poverty and health are intrinsically linked. An impoverished family can scarcely afford health care. A sick breadwinner may be unable to earn income. A country unable to invest in medical professionals, facilities, and resources will have weak health systems.
  • Corus is an ensemble of organizations working in concert to deliver the holistic, lasting solutions needed to overcome these interrelated challenges. Together with our local partners, we reduce poverty at the same time as improving communities’ health.
  • We want those struggling today to enjoy a healthier, more prosperous tomorrow.

  • We promote gender equity, positive youth development, and resilience in our work.

We design programming that addresses the specific needs of women and young people and ensures communities can maintain development gains when difficult times arise.
