A unique innovation is transforming access to vaccines in Ghana. With Zipline drones delivering life-saving vaccines to the most remote communities, rough roads and long travel times no longer stand in the way of essential immunisations. This exciting initiative has boosted immunisation rates by up to 50%. To keep these innovations going, we’re calling on world governments to support Gavi’s $9 billion replenishment to protect 500 million children between 2026 - 2030—preventing more than 8 million deaths and building global health security for the future. #ForOurFuture #VaccinesWork

This week at UNGA79, our CEO Keller Rinaudo Cliffton will join FMOH Nigeria and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance at Devex to discuss "New Models for Sustainable Development."

Kevin's early career included getting a degree in Criminology, a stint in education, and volunteering for organizations like the Red Cross – on the surface, not necessarily the clearest path to leading manufacturing operations at a robotics company. To Kevin, the throughline was wanting to be a part of something that saves lives. With one million deliveries of life-saving blood, medicine, and more over the past eight years of operations, he's in the right place. Kevin has been at Zipline for more than six years, and is no stranger to the bumps, failures, and thrills of trying to build technology that's never been built before. Hear Kevin give us the real deal when it comes to working at a global autonomy startup. And come watch him at our virtual event next week on September 19. https://bit.ly/3ZnZCRc

Lauren Lacey leads our mechanical integration engineering team. From early hardware builds, to engineering validation builds, to production, her team is responsible for making sure the entire system works as designed. As a leader at Zipline, Lauren brings deep engineering experience, but it’s also her personal experience that we find so inspiring. Growing up in a small farm town in Missouri, Lauren experienced firsthand the toll it can take when your family can’t get access to the medicine they need. Hear from Lauren in her own words, and join us next week to see what she and her team have been building. https://bit.ly/3ZnZCRc

We’re thrilled that our groundbreaking partnership with Zipline is the feature of today’s episode of the BBC World Service's ‘People fixing the world’ podcast, which examines brilliant solutions to the world's problems. Tune in to hear how Elton John AIDS Foundation is transforming access to life-saving medical supplies for youth in Kenya. Together, we are using drones to deliver critical contraceptives, PrEP, HIV and STI tests and HIV medication to communities in Kenya, with a focus on young people – the demographic who account for 42% of new HIV cases in the country. We’re delivering these services in locations convenient to them, such as sports grounds, community centers and night clubs. “Equal access to proper medication is vital in ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Through this historic partnership, we can better provide necessary medications when and where they are needed, outside of conventional health settings and in the areas young people frequent most.” - Anne Aslett, Chief Executive Officer of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
