Shivam's Road to Recovery 40-year old Harendra Giri lives with his wife, Bawli Devi, their seven children and his 74-year old mother in the village of Supaul, 5 km west of Patori. They live off a monthly income of INR 2500 (approximately $56 US) on a small piece of land owned by the family. The land is not profitable, so Harendra and his family sell clothes on their bicycle in nearby villages. The eldest child, aged 20, was married at 13 and has a 2-year old child. The youngest child of the family is Shivam, a 4-year old boy who has suffered from visceral leishmaniasis (VL, Kala Azar) for 2 years. More >   Ayesha's Affordable Treatment Ayesha Khatoon, is a mother of 4 children living with her husband and parents in Bajidpur chowk Usman village. Her husband, a low income migrant painter does not have a steady income. Ayesha became sick. She felt breathless and feverish, had a burning sensation in her stomach, and became sensitive to heat. She was unable to take care of her four children and had to rely on her father to take care of them. "I first saw a local doctor who charged 500 R. I relentlessly vomited and didn't respond to medicine given by the local doctor," said Ayesha. More >   A Message from Our CEO One of my greatest pleasures and pride as leader of iOWH, is knowing that we have such an extraordinary team of professionals. I am extremely honored to work with the dedicated staff in both San Francisco and India. The mission to provide accessible and affordable medicines to those who need it the most is long, tedious and often fraught with bumps in the road. Generally it takes 10 years to develop a medicine and bring it to market. At iOWH, we are fortunate that we have strong partnerships in the pharmaceutical industries that enable us to maintain our momentum as we close in on treatments for the diseases that kill so many people each day. The staff at iOWH is committed and loyal. More >   Who's Who at iOWH? Tue Huu Nguyen What is your role at iOWH?
