CFHI Community Health Projects utilize an asset-based community engagement approach that focuses on strengths rather than weaknesses in seeking approaches and solutions to complex public health challenges. These projects help to bring solidarity, professional development, financial and in-kind support to innovative projects led by CFHI’s global team and their communities- health care workers, community leaders, and other change agents. The projects contribute to the retention of health care workers and strives to reduce “brain drain” and is a means of reinvesting in our partner communities that host participants in CFHI’s Global Health Education Programs.

Each year, CFHI allocates funding and invites applications from our Global Team and their networks. Applications are reviewed by an external committee. Learn more about the inspiring work of our grant recipients in the 2024 Annual Impact Report!
