“When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace and seeds of hope.”

- Wangari Maathai

The Kati Collective model is built on a set of highly complementary and inter-related values which drive our approach to our functional capabilities and technical expertise. At our core is the belief that applying a broad set of lived experiences along with quality data is essential to achieving health equality and social justice. Our model is rooted in bringing forward diverse experiences, perspectives, and skill sets to best serve the needs of not only our clients, but the people and systems with whom our clients engage.

In this time of ever-evolving global and societal structures, the constant changing and shifting of rules and norms, and the global reframing of “business as usual”, it’s more important than ever to start from a point of knowing that we don’t always know.

We bring intellectual rigor to our work. We ask tough questions of ourselves, our clients, and the broader world within we work, recognizing that we all have much to learn. We bring our wisdom and experience, apply it in new ways, and combine it with data and an ever-shifting mix of other experiences and voices to partner with you to find a solution that comes from approaching the question in a different, more collaborative way.
