WHO WE ARE

About INMED

INMED Partnerships for Children is an international nonprofit humanitarian organization founded by Dr. Linda Pfeiffer in 1986. The organization was established out of a desire to provide children with necessary medicines and medical care. Over the last 30 years, however, INMED has adapted to changing global needs and has responded by expanding services in the field to address the growing needs of children in the developing and underdeveloped world.

INMED USA is an affiliate of global humanitarian development NGO INMED Partnerships for Children, which has been building pathways for vulnerable children, teens, and families to achieve self-reliance and well-being in Loudoun County, VA, since 1988.

Our Multigenerational Solution

INMED USA narrows the opportunity gaps for economically disadvantaged communities, which disproportionally lack access to health resources and sustainable livelihoods. The programs of INMED USA provide a continuum of care and support from the prenatal period through adulthood via services and resources for at-risk children and low-income families.

Through our multi-generational approach, we provide crisis intervention, prevention, and skills development programs and resources that help vulnerable children and families thrive today and for generations to come.

Our Partners

INMED’s vision is to transform the future of vulnerable children around the world. As our name suggests, we have not set out to do it alone. Working with a worldwide coalition of corporations, governments, and foundations, our programs have transformed the lives of millions of children and families across the globe. Our alliances with local and multinational partners create a strong foundation for children’s health and education, inspire communities to invest in their children’s futures, and create new opportunities for children to maximize their potential and achieve lifelong success.

Become a Partner

For too many children around the world, their hope for the future is not matched by opportunity. Facing poverty, poor health, lack of education and living in broken families and violent communities, a generation of children is at risk. INMED’s mission is to transform the future of vulnerable children today and for future generations by building pathways to achieve well-being and self-reliance. We do this by creating a continuity of care and support for healthy development from infancy to adulthood. The process of transformation that begins with a child carries over to his family and community, creating real, meaningful and sustainable change that crosses generations and breaks the cycle of poverty.

As our name suggests, we rely on partners to make our work possible. Our alliances with private- and public-sector partners–as well as individual donors–create a strong foundation for children’s health and education, inspire communities to invest in their children’s futures and generate new opportunities for children to fulfill their potential and achieve lifelong success.

Investing in INMED USA creates a direct pathway to success for a child in need and builds a safe and strong community. Your support helps break the cycle of poverty for the families we currently serve and for future generations.

Major donors receive special recognition at all our events, newsletters, brochures, website, social media, and press materials.

We are looking for corporate partners to help us expand our programs and the educational services we offer our families.
