About Company

In 1973, Jhpiego was founded at Johns Hopkins University. That year, we partnered with the US Agency for International Development to bring reproductive health breakthroughs to the world. Today, our US-based and international partners are public and private organizations, thought leaders, pioneers and visionaries. From then to now, some things have remained constant: the trust we enjoy together and our unwavering commitment to improving the health of women and families. That’s why we still work side by side with USAID, enjoy decades long partnerships with global groups and steward new relationships from east to west. We are, all of us, stronger together.
