POGS addresses the root causes of inefficiency in global health philanthropy by investing in knowledge, not short-term aid.
Lasting impact requires more than generosity. Traditional aid models often fail to provide effective and long-term solutions in developing countries. POGS changes all this.
Rather than providing money, supplies, or short-term solutions, the program invests directly in building knowledge and expertise to meet these countries’ greatest needs.
By training doctors, we build effective, long term local capacity while ensuring that philanthropic capital translates directly into lives saved.
This principle defines the POGS approach and distinguishes it from nearly every other philanthropic initiative operating in the developing world.
