About Us

 Mission

Tiyatien Health (“Justice in Health” in Liberian Kwa-speaking dialect) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit social justice organization that works in partnership with communities in rural Liberia and the Liberian Government to promote equity by advancing healthcare services and the fundamental rights of the poor. Through services, research, advocacy and training, we are working to improve access to HIV treatment, care and support; pioneer models that deliver primary healthcare fairly and for all; and bolster social justice in rural Liberia – one of Africa’s poorest war-torn countries.

 

Vision

Tiyatien Health envisions a just global society – a necessary element of which is a world in which people share equity in survival. For us, this means a world in which communities have eliminated separate, unequal standards of healthcare; political and economic structures are fair to the poor; and fundamental freedoms are enjoyed by all.
