On #UHCDay, our Senior Fellows help us imagine — and build — that world.

Innovation begins in the community.

Kennedy Odede was one of our global innovators who dedicated his life to be a voice for his community.

But do you know how he did it? With his community and with a soccer ball!

Well done, Kennedy and SHOFCO!!
