About the Clinton Health Access Initiative

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org.

Context

Exclusion due to children’s disability is one of the largest hidden problems in order to obtain equal opportunity. It is estimated that more than 200 million children in low-resource settings are lacking this equal opportunity. Those children, particularly from 0 to six years old, are usually segregated from the community due to stigma and social disgrace, minimizing their learning capacity in the vital developing years.

Children with disabilities need early identification and assistive technology to ensure and maximize their development and learning skills allowing them to be integrated into social aspect and fully functioning.

However, limited facilities offer qualified screening and proper intervention, play therapy and assistive technology, e.g. wheelchair, hearings, visual aids. When assistive products are available, they are often expensive, limiting affordability and access to better quality aids. The limited number of trained healthcare providers usually results in missed opportunities for early detection and appropriate intervention.

Therefore, CHAI in the “Build a World of Play” (BAWOP) Program supports the Indonesian government to 1) increase the capacity of health workers in early identification of children with disabilities aged 0-6 years, 2) increase access to quality AT products, and 3) increase access to play & learn for children with disabilities. To optimize the achievement of this program, CHAI is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to support the implementation of the program.
