VillageReach transforms health care delivery to reach everyone. We are driven by a vision of a world where each person has the health care needed to thrive. VillageReach’s goal is to reduce inequities in access to quality primary health care for 350 million people by 2030. We work with governments, the private sector, partners and communities to build responsive primary health care systems that deliver health products, information and services to the most under-reached. As a locally driven and globally connected organization, VillageReach has offices in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and the United States.
VillageReach supports the Ministry of Health in its efforts to reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), particularly through a significant reduction in the circulation of type 2 vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV2).
Large pockets of zero-dose and under-immunized children persist across the country, especially in hard-to-reach, conflict-affected, or low-performing areas. Insecurity, population displacement, challenging geography, recurrent outbreaks, and chronic underinvestment in immunization systems all continue to impede equitable access to vaccines. Eastern DRC (North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri) and certain provinces with persistent gaps in coverage remain among the world’s highest-risk geographies for sustained cVDPV1/2 transmission.
