+ VIDEO: Fighting Malaria in Myanmar +

For many years, Myanmar was a closed country shut off from the rest of the world. As the country evolves, so too does their approach to public health. ARC has been working side by side in a unique partnership with the Myanmar government and local ethnic organizations to carry out a 5-year plan aimed to stop the spread of drug-resistant malaria. 

In close collaboration with The Global Fund, ARC runs community health posts that are strategically placed to reach migrant workers along the Thai-Myanmar border. Operated by highly-skilled ARC staff, these outposts are changing the outlook for migrant workers and the surrounding communities. The number of malaria cases has drastically decreased. This means more kids in school, more migrant workers able to continue work and healthier, more resilient communities overall.

+ Introducing John Griffith, New Head of Global Operations +

ARC is thrilled to announce our new Head of Global Operations, John Griffith. John will lead our 11 country program teams in further strengthening ARC’s value proposition to refugees and donors by ensuring high quality service delivery, increasing efficiency, and upholding ARC’s brand promise. John has joined ARC after over two decades of experience in property development at the executive level of Target and Ryan Construction. Prior to taking the position, John traveled to ARC programs in East Africa to become familiar with ARC programs. “Sitting around a table with really bright, smart people solving complicated problems is what gets me going. It’s what I enjoy most - working on complicated, multiple projects over vast areas of the globe,” John stated. During his time at Target, John has led a geographically dispersed team of over 3,000 employees. With his many years and depth of experience, we are excited to have John on our leadership team.
