Mission
Ascent
Global Market Solutions identifies, creates, and develops distribution
strategies for market-based solutions aimed at the world’s poorest individuals.
Vision
We
seek a world in which the poorest individuals have access to necessary,
lifesaving goods at an affordable cost.
Core Values
Market-based strategies
We seek to develop solutions that are self-funding and operate at sufficient scale to make a difference to masses of poor people.
Community identified and developed solutions
We understand that problems and solutions are best identified by the people that are immersed in the issue on a daily basis. We work with local communities, local experts, and local academics to understand the root of a problem and work to co-create solutions.
Human-centered design
We believe that the right way to use a product should be the easiest way to use a product. We utilize human-centered design to develop innovative, culturally appropriate, and sustainable solutions for social change.
Collaborative development/Multi-stakeholder approach
Poverty is not a zero-sum game. We recognize that when others do better, we also thrive. We work to create a world in which all actors recognize their role in ending needless suffering. With this in mind, we are a business that shares solutions, works with outside institutions for collective process, and encourages a culture of information sharing. True progress will only be made when all actors come together to create collaborative, inclusive, and multi-stakeholder solutions.
