PopHealth Futures was founded by Catherine Mwai, a Yale-trained population health scientist turned social impact entrepreneur. For nearly 15 years, Mwai has taught, led curriculum design, and advanced health research and intervention programs across some of the most prominent institutions in the US and East Africa.

Along the way, she saw the same gap again and again: the organizations that needed scientific tools most were the ones lacking access to them. The ability to develop impactful initiatives rooted in data, evidence, and participatory methods should not be a privilege, but a shared standard. Mwai founded PopHealth Futures to help organizations build their capacity for lasting impact.
