Description

Lwala believes that communities have untapped potential to solve the world's most pressing challenges. Founded by a group of committed Kenyans, we connect community innovation with university-backed research to tackle the multidimensional causes of poor health. Backed by evidence of impact, we build coalitions of communities, frontline health workers, civil society, and government to advance high-quality health for all.

Testimonials

I love that working with Miller Center allowed me to meet other social entrepreneurs who were working to solve the same problems that I was, in new and different ways. Despite focusing on different topic areas, we all had the same social mission and inspired one another to push through challenges and think creatively about our solutions. I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside other social entrepreneurs changing the world.
