MÉRIEUX FOUNDATION USA

In Madagascar, we are addressing malnutrition in local schools and providing support to families to keep children in the classroom and out of the workforce. Our playful, interactive health education kits are teaching thousands of schoolchildren the basics of living a healthy life... In Haiti, we work with local partners to provide vocational training to young adults. Through our microcredit and education program, women living with HIV/AIDS are able to earn income to support their families. Since the start of the program in 2005, 4,500 women have received microcredits... Without diagnostics, medicine is blind. The Mérieux Foundation believes that access to high quality laboratories for testing and research is the backbone of creating a healthier society and stopping the spread of epidemics.
