Thrive Together is a collaborative, transdisciplinary research project working to bring into open dialogue the lived experience of people in Uganda, the US, and Nigeria, with insights from SRH research and practice and the field of human flourishing.

Funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation, Thrive Together envisions how to integrate these fields to change the status quo of health and development practice.

Joining a growing community committed to a shift towards wellbeing as our primary goal, we are building a set of conversations for those already sensing that wellbeing and SRH belong together.

OUR APPROACH COMBINES:

Creative story-making workshops, community-led methods, and grounded insights from people’s experience.

DIVERSE Scientific evidence & FRAMEWORKS

Transdisciplinary developmental science, SRH research, and emerging wellbeing and human flourishing frameworks.

collaborative Bridge-building across sectors
