FOUNDING STORY

ONE PERSON’S PASSSION,
NOW EVERYONE’S SPREEHA

After his mother’s cancer diagnosis, Tazin Shadid decided to use his human-centered design expertise at Microsoft to solve healthcare challenges for underserved communities in Bangladesh. He started a mobile clinic in a Dhaka slum in 2007.

Later on, in 2012 he established Spreeha Foundation and developed a holistic model that helps underserved communities to thrive.

Today, Spreeha is building a network of tech-enabled hyper-local urgent care centers, ensuring accessible and high-quality healthcare for low and middle-income communities. In the last 12 years, Spreeha has impacted more than 700,000 lives in Bangladesh and beyond.

OUR VALUES

EMPATHY

We design with empathy and are a people-centric organization. We deeply integrate within communities, understand the problems and build trust before designing solutions.

FOREVER-FORWARD

Our curiosity is paired with a love for failure, because true learning is only possible through continuous and uninterrupted defeats from which we rise with better answers, better products and more effective innovation.

SOLUTION-FOCUSED

We are on a mission to build a world inspired by the culture of innovation, one which nurtures limitless opportunities for all. We are dreamers who design to inspire, we are innovators who design for change.

COLLABORATION

United by a shared vision and purpose, we embark on a journey driven by undying passion. Together, we aim to make a significant impact on the world. This is our mission—to change the world for the better.

OUR APPROACH
