Goats and Soda was the name of NPR's global health and development blog from 2014 until 2026. Our posts are now published under the "Global Health" banner. We tell stories of life in our changing world, focusing on low- and middle-income countries — also referred to as the Global South. And we keep in mind that we're all neighbors in this global village.

NPR receives financial support for this coverage from the Gates Foundation. NPR is solely responsible for all content. Find more about NPR's standards and practices at NPR.org/ethics, as well as a list of our philanthropic supporters in our Annual Report.

We've won awards for our coverage of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the lives of 15-year-old girls around the world and the revolutionary project in Kenya called "No Sex for Fish." We are always looking for innovations and technology that makes life better. And yes, we occasionally wrote about goats!

If you're curious about our original name, Goats and Soda, the inspiration came from a team member who'd spent time in Africa and said everywhere he went he saw goats — and soda. Here's the story.

Our team is based out of NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C. We are:
