Health Builders International

Health Builders International is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 26-1844856) headquartered in New York with operational leadership and staff based in Rwanda. The organization partners closely with the Rwanda Ministry of Health and local communities to strengthen primary health care delivery in rural districts. Health Builders works at scale: it reports serving more than 2.3 million people across five districts and documents program outputs such as over 100,000 obstetrical ultrasound scans, 181,001 community screenings supported by its community EMR rollout, identification and referral of 4,057 high-risk pregnancies, and enrollment of roughly 5,000 people into hypertension treatment and follow-up. These impact metrics have been reported by the organization through its public impact dashboard and recent program communications. The organization’s approach combines training and mentoring of facility staff, appropriate technology and equipment (including a community electronic medical record), and construction/strengthening of health facilities so improvements are sustainable and locally led. Leadership is majority-Rwandan and Health Builders emphasizes local management, data-driven quality improvement, and long-term partnerships with government and community stakeholders.
