OUR AREAS OF WORK
Where We Work and Why It Matters
At Blue Banyan, we focus on systemic challenges that obstruct human development, create opportunity, collective growth, dignity, wellbeing, and agency through partnerships and collaborations. Our sectoral expertise is a broad span of diverse areas where thoughtful interventions can create significant impact.
Catalysing Human Development
We work at the intersection of dignity, opportunity, and equity, co-creating development solutions that centre the lived realities of marginalized communities.
Infectious Diseases
We reimagine infectious disease care as a systemic and social justice issue, advocating for people-centred, rights-based responses rooted in community leadership.
Transforming Mental Health
Our mental health work challenges medicalized models by building inclusive, culturally rooted care systems that centre youth, identity, and community resilience.
Urbanisation & Disease
We connect urban planning with public health to design equity-focused, community-led solutions that address the hidden health crises in cities.
Building Health Equity
Through research, storytelling, and participatory design, we work to transform health systems into spaces of justice, inclusion, and solidarity.
Gender & Sexuality
We centre the voices and experiences of LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse people to drive systemic reform across health, policy, and care delivery.
