Tantvaya- Sanskrit word for “weaver”

Supporting those who Strengthen Communities

I partner with nonprofits, community based organizations, and public health agencies — the “weavers” — who are addressing social determinants of health to strengthen communities, improve lives and empower people
to be their best selves.

 Now more than ever, there is an urgency for advocacy and commitment in developing lasting solutions for transforming injustices and hopelesness so many experience today. In the last decade, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH), the nonmedical conditions that influence health outcomes, as a systemic strategy for improving health, particularly among groups that are disproportionally affected by SDOH. While medical care is important, it is estimated that these conditions, ranging from structural racism to socioeconomic factors, drive as much as 50% of health outcomes.
