Advance Community

Esperança has rebranded, and our new name is now Advance Community (Advance). 

Our Vision

We believe in a world where every person is thriving, creating new possibilities and promising futures.

Our Mission

We build optimal health in under-resourced communities across the globe.

IDEA Statement

Advance is a global health organization committed to improving health and providing hope through disease prevention, education, and treatment with a vision of health equity for all, where every person is thriving. Like the communities we serve, our staff, board, and volunteers consist of members of different ethnicities, genders, ages, races, religions, abilities, national origins, gender identities and sexual orientations.

Advance celebrates cultural and individual differences, knowing that our team will be more successful at embracing inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA). Our goal is to represent the communities we serve by embedding IDEA throughout Advance, providing an environment in which everyone feels welcome, heard, and valued.
