Setup

Global health and development often feels like a game of two steps forward, three steps back – but on the ground there is real progress. Join the Aspen New Voices Fellows, some of the world’s most effective grassroots leaders, as they share their true life stories of mesmerizing, measurable success (and all the false starts and unexpected turns along the way).
