Phages for Global Health facilitates the development of antibacterial phage products for developing countries. Natural Antibacterial Agents: Bacteriophages (phages) are bacteria-killing viruses that exist in the environment, on our food, and in our bodies, and they can be selected to target only specific bacteria while leaving other, helpful bacteria and human cells unharmed. Phages have been used as a standard component of medical practice in certain parts of the world for over 100 years, and they have exhibited remarkable safety and activity profiles. Most notably, phages are active against both antibiotic-resistant and antibiotic-sensitive bacteria -- a crucial feature in the midst of our global antimicrobial resistance crisis. In addition, phages can be easily isolated from contaminated environments, and they are inherently inexpensive to manufacture. It is also possible to dry powder formulate phages such that the final products do not require refrigeration. Taken together, all of these factors make phages particularly well-suited as antibiotic alternatives for developing countries. How We Work: Phages for Global Health brings together international, multidisciplinary teams to co-develop phage products for specific applications in developing countries. To efficiently implement these projects, we build partnerships between global phage experts and developing world infectious disease specialists (clinicians, food safety scientists, regulatory advisors, and stakeholder engagement professionals). With this mix of specialists, we create teams that have both the technical expertise necessary to develop phage products and also the local scientific and cultural knowledge to deliver products that will be socially accepted and effective. Our growing consortium of project partners includes leaders from non-profit organizations, for-profit companies, and academic and governmental institutions across Africa, Europe and North America. In addition to bringing together these teams, Phages for Global Health helps develop the overall project strategies, advises on product development, supplies project management, and leads fundraising efforts. Together with our partners, we have also created a series of short-term laboratory training programs to teach key essentials of phage biology to scientists in developing countries. Our Current Projects: For our projects we identify bacterial diseases that have significant gaps in prevention or treatment tools and for which there is already strong data indicating that phages can help. And we work in countries where we have partnerships with leading public health scientists who are able to substantively impact standard practices in their countries. Our existing projects are summarized below, and we are in discussions with specialists around the world through which additional projects may soon emerge. (1) Cholera Phages: (Democratic Republic of the Congo / DRC) Developing cholera phage products that can be used both for preventative treatment in people and for water decontamination. Partners: Ministry of Health (DRC), University of Kinshasa (DRC), Yale University (US), University of Alberta (Canada), Queen Astrid Military Hospital (Belgium) (2) Campylobacter Phages: (Kenya & Egypt) Developing Campylobacter phage products to decontaminate retail poultry meat, which is the primary source of Campylobacter infection in people. Partners: Kenya Medical Research Institute, University of Nairobi (Kenya), University of Science and Technology (Egypt), University of Nottingham (UK), University of Alberta (Canada) (3) Laboratory Training Program: (East Africa) Delivering a 2-week, hands-on laboratory training course through which African scientists can learn how to isolate and characterize phages in their own regions. Partners: University of Nairobi (Kenya), Sokoine University of Agriculture (Tanzania), Makerere University (Uganda), Yale University (US), University of Utah (US)

From Books to Brilliance provides access to books and educational materials in impoverished communities. Countless children in our world grow up with no books. In Nicaragua and Guatemala, many of the rural poor live on less than one dollar a day. Without access to basic services such as potable water and sanitation, families struggle just to survive each day. Books are rarely found. At the local schools, teachers plan lessons and instruct with no textbooks. Children fortunate enough to attend school learn to read from words written on the blackboard, but without books cannot read to learn. Few children reach their intellectual potential. We believe that in creating access to books and information, a better future becomes possible for citizens living in abject poverty.

We believe that educational programs that emphasize critical real world problem-solving skills are powerful drivers of positive change. We are committed to delivering these programs to empower teachers and students in the world's poorest communities, setting in motion cycles of positive change to resolve the underlying causes of poverty and injustice. Our Vision:An education that empowers all children to defend and safeguard their fundamental human rights, creating a more peaceful and just world. Our Values: Webelieve that education is a fundamental human right. We believe that education is the driver of real change. Webelieve that a meaningful education empowers ALL people to live in dignity and in peace.
