TY - GEN A1 - Battilana, Julie A1 - Kimsey, Marissa A1 - Zogbi, Priscilla A1 - Mair, Johanna T1 - Associação Saúde Criança: Trying to Break the Cycle of Poverty and Illness at Scale N2 - Dr. Vera Cordeiro founded the NGO Associação Saúde Criança in 1991 to try to help poor families break the cycle of poverty and illness in Brazil. She and her team of employees and volunteers developed a holistic methodology to address the multidimensional sources of poverty based on the pillars of health, housing, citizenship, income, and education. After introducing the seeds of this approach, the case examines the evolution of the organization’s attempts to grow its social impact in Brazil and beyond—including a loose network of sister organizations, social franchising, licensing agreements, and government adoption.
