We bridge the gap between innovation and impact

We partner with communities and health systems to ensure life-saving HIV medications and PrEP reach those who need them most, because no one should face HIV alone.

Why We're Different

“Root to Rise” is more than our name—it’s our philosophy.

It symbolizes the process of growth and transformation, starting with a strong foundation. 
It symbolizes the process of growth and transformation, starting with a strong foundation. 

The idea behind it is simple but powerful: just like a plant or tree needs strong roots to grow tall and thrive, we believe that individuals, institutions, and entire health systems need a solid foundation to rise—especially in complex, resource-constrained environments. That foundation includes access to essential health products, youth leadership, enabling policies, and the resilience and agility to evolve with the moment.

By rooting in partnership and deep systems understanding, we create the conditions to rise toward a healthier future.
