Low resourced countries often rely on paper-based reports and electronic data that comes from multiple organizations in many different formats. This challenge often leads to the inefficient allocation of very limited resources. Zenysis created an interoperability software platform to collect all the data that a country receives and organize it in a useful way. For example, governments around the world use Zenysis software to reach “zero dose” children in their vaccine campaigns to ensure that help is delivered where it is most needed.

Our program-related investment of $13,000,000 enables Zenysis to continue to develop its platform and deliver it in lower income countries. 

Inspired by the specialized surgical work that Dr. Shaye was performing in Rwanda, the Steele family provided funding to support his work from 2017 through 2021. In April of 2022, we invited Dr. Shaye to expand his reach by establishing an operating foundation.  During the next 12 months, we provided legal, tax, and accounting resources to help the Shaye family create Project Life International.  In July of 2023, we committed $3,000,000 of grant funding for Dr. Shaye’s work. As he operates on patients, he is teaching surgeons from low resourced countries the procedures they will need to know.  Project Life equips the newly trained surgeons with specialized instruments so that they can perform the procedures in their home countries.  We expect these surgeons will go on to train and equip more surgeons.

ProjectLife also builds and staffs learning centers and libraries for children in clinics and hospitals, which is already proving to speed up recovery for children receiving care.
