PAGE 5 OUR DEVELOPMENT PLAN We believe every community has the gifts and skills it needs to improve the h1th and wellbeing of all its member5. We know local leaders care about their communities and want to improve health and wellbeing. . i/////i IMPROVING THE I HEALTH OFI ÈOMMUNITIES ITOGETHER ' However, local leaders in vulnerable communities are often working in isolation and have minimal resources. Also. in a world of fake news, the best evidence based ways of working often don't reach the community level. Together these factors make it very hard to create sustainable change in health and wellbeing at a community level. OUR VISION is to see health and wellbeing in communities around the world continually improving. OUR MISSION is to be a global network which CONNECTS and SUPPORTS local leaders who are working to Improve the health 2nd wellbeing of their own communities That s Oscar, Cluster Leader Kericho.
