For over 20 years, we have worked alongside the Indian government and various on-ground partners to support the vision of a world where every person has the opportunity to live a healthy and productive life.
We catalyze efforts to save mothers and babies, defeat infectious diseases, and lift people out of poverty across India
A healthy future for every mother and child means reducing maternal and newborn deaths, closing immunization and nutrition gaps, and ending deadly infectious diseases like tuberculosis, kala azar, and lymphatic filariasis. It’s a future within reach, and we work alongside key stakeholders in India to make that future possible.
Behind every meal is a farmer striving for a better season. We work with 3,000 smallholder farmers across India, especially women, to improve crops and livestock through climate-smart innovations, AI-driven advisory, and solutions that strengthen incomes and resilience.
Economic empowerment transforms everything a woman can do—for herself, for her household, and for her community. We’re working across India to help 2,500 rural women build stable and sustainable incomes, productive assets, and have real access to capital, markets, and skills.
India’s digital financial systems are reshaping how people pay, save, and borrow. We work to ensure this transformation leaves no one behind by supporting the expansion of access to safe and affordable digital financial services, particularly for those on the margins of the formal financial system.
India has already made major progress bringing toilets into homes. Our work now focuses on safely treating sanitation waste from those toilets to prevent disease and enable water reuse. We support public and private partners in building standards, technologies, and water-efficient circular sanitation systems—and expanding access to these solutions.
We focus our work in states that have the greatest need and the potential for impact.
Bihar has been one of our longest-standing state partners, with a formal government partnership dating back to 2016. As one of India’s largest states, progress in Bihar is crucial for the country’s progress as a whole. Our work across maternal and child health, infectious diseases, agriculture, and women’s economic empowerment is central to impact at a national scale.

Since 2013, we have partnered with Uttar Pradesh—India’s most populous state—to advance work across priority areas. Given its scale, progress in UP can ripple out nationwide, influencing outcomes far beyond the state.

Odisha’s rain-fed smallholder farmers face climate shocks and resulting market swings. Support for agricultural innovation anchors our decade-long partnership there. Our work has since expanded to women’s economic empowerment, infectious diseases, and foundational literacy.
Assam’s tea gardens, hilly terrain, river belts, and international borders make equitable healthcare especially challenging. We partner with the Government of Assam and its network of medical colleges to strengthen immunization, maternal and newborn health, tuberculosis care, and primary health care.
Communities in Meghalaya, especially tribal areas, are spread across hilly, forested terrain, making quality healthcare hard to reach. We partner with the Government of Meghalaya to accelerate progress on maternal, newborn and child health, reduce infectious diseases, and deploy digital tools to strengthen health systems.
Andhra Pradesh is one of the states where India’s agricultural digital public infrastructure—like AI-driven farm advisory—is being scaled. As part of our partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh, we also support systemic efforts for women’s economic empowerment.
