Kevin Starr runs the Mulago Foundation and is the founder and director of the Rainer Arnhold Fellows Program. Mulago works like a social impact venture fund to seed and grow the most promising solutions in health, development, and conservation in the Third World. The Rainer Arnhold Fellows Program is an outgrowth of the Foundation’s work, and recruits some of the best social entrepreneurs working in the Third World to maximize their impact through a systematic process of design and evolution.
Kevin has been doing this work since 1996 and is currently involved in >30 projects around the world – from forest conservation by monks in Tibet to micro-franchise clinics and one acre farm businesses in Kenya. He originally trained as a physician and continues to practice medicine (very) part-time and teach a course on health project design at UCSF School of Medicine.
