Who we are

PSI is a network of locally rooted, globally connected organizations working to achieve consumer-powered healthcare — people-centered health systems that ensure quality, affordable care wherever and whenever it is needed. Our origins in sexual and reproductive health have grown into a broader mission. Today, we work with the public and private sectors as well as local communities, prioritizing people’s voice and choice and developing solutions to meet their essential health needs. Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.

Since 2012, PSI has been a leader in developing markets for sanitation, and our newest team member will play an integral role in supporting all of our WASH projects to achieve their full potential. We support a portfolio of WASH projects in 10 countries, with a focus on advancing local leadership and innovation. We are a small, nimble, collaborative team that works hard and has a lot of fun.
