Partners in Health , established in 1987, is committed to making a preferential option for the poor by working in partnership with community-based organizations on projects designed to improve health outcomes in poor communities. Towards this aim Partners In Health provides technical and financial assistance, obtains funding and medical supplies and helps to administer partner projects in Haiti, Peru, Mexico, Cambodia and Boston. The goal of these partnerships is neither charity nor development. Rather, they reflect a commitment to struggle alongside poor people and against the economic and political structures which create their poverty, and lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Partners In Health is supported by grants and individual contributions.
