About Us
East Meets West’s mission is to improve the health and well-being of underserved communities in Southeast Asia by working in concert with the public and private sectors. We began in 1988 as East Meets West to help the people of Vietnam, where we continue to innovate today. In Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, we continue to operate under the name East Meets West. In the US, we are known as Thrive Networks. Our work in Vietnam remains a testing ground for many of our newest and most innovative ideas to ensure that vulnerable communities are not left behind when it comes to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), healthy cities and resilient communities.
Our expertise is built on over 36 years of experience of designing, testing, and implementing cutting-edge, evidence-based programs in infrastructure, water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), economic empowerment, gender equity, healthy cities and resilient community development to serve underserved populations in Southeast Asia, using innovating financing and service delivery models.
