Our Vision:



FHI is a dynamic organization working worldwide to address comprehensive health issues and their consequences in resource-poor settings.



FHI emphasizes the development of strategies to respond to the HIV/AIDS pandemic; other sexually transmitted infections; unintended pregnancies; and related reproductive health concerns of individuals and communities.



FHI works in partnership with vulnerable populations of diverse cultures, applying flexible programmatic public health approaches and building local capacity to address the most pressing health needs of individuals and communities.



FHI pursues partnerships in an entrepreneurial spirit, internally as well as with governments, foundations, NGO's, and businesses—in the United States and abroad—to respond to a changing environment for financing priority public health initiatives.
