Touch Foundation

Touch Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening healthcare systems in sub-Saharan Africa, primarily in Tanzania and Lesotho. Founded in 2004 by Lowell Bryan, the organization applies business-driven analytical approaches to solve critical health challenges, such as the shortage of skilled healthcare workers and high maternal mortality rates. Their flagship programs include "m-mama," an innovative emergency transport system for pregnant women and newborns, and "Treat & Train," which expands medical education and clinical training capacity. By collaborating with governments, private sector partners, and international donors, Touch Foundation develops scalable and sustainable models for healthcare delivery. The organization is recognized for its data-centric approach and its success in integrating digital health solutions into national health infrastructures.
