The challenge
The business challenge
Limited access to quality healthcare for producers and workers weakens supply chains by reducing productivity, increasing financial risks, and perpetuating unethical practices like child labor, often impacting women the most.
The social challenge
Ninety percent of producers and workers face barriers to affordable healthcare, often forcing them to pay medical expenses out-of-pocket. This financial pressure pushes many families further into poverty, forces harmful choices like child labor or illegal logging to cover costs, and leaves critical health needs unmet, undermining household and community resilience.
Our team
We are a diverse team of public health specialists, community outreach officers, value chain experts, entrepreneurs, data analysts, doctors, and tech developers with over a decade of experience in health innovation. Backed by mission-driven investors, we are committed to improving healthcare access for producers and workers and creating measurable impact. Our expertise in resource-constrained settings enables us to strengthen the health, livelihoods, and resilience of producers and workers, while ensuring companies benefit from stronger, more sustainable, and resilient supply chains.

Maria Christodoulou
Head of Cocoa Sustainability at Fludor Ghana Limited/TGI Group

“Establishing agricultural supply chains where farmers’ health is taken care of is fundamental for farmers’ access to decent work and income. Elucid Social’s work to enhance health standards in cocoa supply chains is pioneering given that as an industry we cannot solve the farmer revenue problem and associated ones, such as child labor and deforestation, without tackling pressing health issues first. We are thrilled to join forces with Elucid Social and improve human health in our cocoa supply chain in Ghana, in line with Fludor’s vision to promote a “healthier cocoa sector”.”

“In 2023, RMI teamed up with Elucid to carry out a global assessment of health conditions at four mica mining sites in Madagascar. Elucid's study provided us with essential information on living conditions and healthcare in these remote areas of southern Madagascar. By engaging with the miners and taking on board their needs and proposals for structuring them, Elucid's team demonstrated both empathy and expertise, a precious combination when you consider that the human being is at the heart of all economic and social issues.”

“Elucid provides a unique and direct link to the workers on farm level, offering them access to healthcare. We all know how important this is for your health and wellbeing. The positive impact of this approach can be made tangible via the Elucid platform, which is of importance to customers looking for solutions to further improve the (social) sustainability of their value chain in a transparent way. We choose to support Elucid on the project in Ecuador in the Banana sector, simply to help them proof their concept works and deliver impact. We hope the results of this large scale pilot will help Elucid to grow their positive impact and improve the life of many more people around the world.”
