CEO Letter 2024

Dear friends and colleagues,

We live in a world of conflict, instability and uncertainty. That’s why at FHI 360, we are working urgently to improve lives today and create a more just and equitable tomorrow — a tomorrow where everyone, everywhere, has access to what they need to lead a full and healthy life.

We do that by listening to local voices and responding to their priorities. We share effective strategies — along with our research and evidence — so that our peers and partners can adapt and reuse them. And we leverage our collaborations with local leaders in more than 60 countries to ensure sustained positive change — the marker of our impact.

In Ukraine, our mobile medical units deliver comprehensive care to people who have little to no access to health services. In Mozambique, our local partners are helping men overcome societal taboos and forge stronger bonds with their wives and children. In Cambodia, we support young people to lead climate-action activities, sparking positive change for their families, peers and communities.

We see firsthand the difference made when a trauma survivor has access to a doctor, when a young person can create lasting change, or when local institutions leverage tools and knowledge to deliver even more impactful services. Their experiences motivate us to keep moving forward, even when the challenges feel insurmountable.

I invite you to meet some of the people at the heart of our efforts, whose voices make up our annual impact report. After you read their stories, I hope that you, too, will see the opportunities for a better tomorrow.

Warm regards,
Tessie San Martin, PhD, MPA
Chief Executive Officer, FHI 360
