Clean air is a basic human right. To build truly sustainable cities, we must center the voices of those most affected by the climate crisis. It’s time to act. In honor of the United Nations International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, we’re reflecting on a powerful moment where informal women workers in Delhi shared their stories through art. In workshops with over 40 women, air quality, health, and livelihood were explored, leading to the first-of-its-kind public art showcase—“Hawa Mein Baat.” Over 200 attendees gathered to witness this inspiring event, spotlighting the impact of air pollution on informal workers. #HelpDelhiBreathe #CleanAirForAll #InclusiveCities #EquityInClimate Mahila Housing Trust FICA

Battling Disinformation in Global Health, the real world effects of Purpose's Response Model in Action 💡 As outbreaks of diseases like West Nile Virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) increase, so does the rise of disinformation. Public health efforts are undercut by strategic campaigns of misinformation, making it more critical than ever to address threats head-on. At Purpose, we’ve developed and refined a unique Online Threats Response Model, empowering organizations to combat health-related disinformation swiftly and effectively. Our model identifies and responds to disinformation threats based on reach and impact—drawing from a combination of academic research, communication expertise in best practices, and real-world experience. We’ve applied this approach in global health, and organizations like the World Mosquito Program (WMP) have seen the transformative value firsthand. “Purpose’s expertise in developing a common language, structure, and orientation for discussing online threats has been instrumental in aligning our teams. The structured approach to intervention enables us to focus on what truly matters, ensuring our responses are timely, impactful, and cohesive.” Bruno Col, World Mosquito Program As disinformation becomes more pervasive, our model offers a clear path forward, supporting capacity-building and ensuring that teams across sectors are equipped to respond to these ever-evolving threats. Learn more about our disinformation response model and past work here.
