John Snow, Inc. - About JSI

JSI is closely affiliated with a number of organizations that provide products and services to health, human services and nonprofit organizations throughout the world.

World Education, Inc.

World Education is dedicated to improving the lives of the poor through economic and social development programs.

World Education uses education to help people and communities take charge of their own development. Rooted in basic education and literacy, World Education links education with economic, health, environmental, and civic development. World Education's programs promote individual and collective change by equipping people and organizations with the knowledge and ability to develop their skills through community-based learning activities.

World Education builds the skills, talents, and resources of local organizations and strengthens effective partnerships with private, public and nongovernmental organizations to ensure that benefits to individuals-and entire communities-continue and increase over time.

All World Education projects are designed to strengthen the capacity of local partner institutions, catalyze community and national development, and contribute to individual growth. World Education supports the development of many types of indigenous nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) to achieve long-term results.
