GHA believes in

• Strengthening Community Health Resilience – We believe in the power of communities to identify and address their own health needs and improve their quality of life.

• Ensuring Health for All – We believe that everyone deserves a fair chance to lead a healthy life.

• Investing in Local Solutions – We believe that sustainable solutions must come from within the community and be based on locally appropriate approaches and resources.

• Fighting for Racial & Gender Equity – We believe that operating with an equity lens is a direct and potent way to reduce historical and social disadvantages.

• Igniting Transformational Leadership – We believe in moral, ethical leadership, standards, and values that create a ripple effect.
