Living Goods:
We believe that the poor
are not helpless victims; they are resilient entrepreneurs and value conscious
consumers. We empower the poor through our networks of ‘Avon-like’
micro-entrepreneurs who go door-to-door teaching families how to improve their
health and wealth while selling affordable, high-impact products like simple
treatments for malaria and diarrhea, fortified foods, water filters, clean
cookstoves, and solar lights. Living Goods seeks nothing less than a disruptive
reinvention of distribution in the developing world, through networks of
franchised micro-entrepreneurs who leverage Living Goods’ brand, buying power
and mobile marketing tools to deliver vital products at accessible prices to
the people who need them most. By combining the best practices from the
worlds of micro-enterprise, franchising and public health, Living Goods is
creating a fully sustainable system to improve the health, wealth, and
productivity of the world’s poor.
