These case studies highlight how Lexington works with governments, communities, and enterprises to untangle complex problems—across poverty, health, housing, energy, and more—and turn them into durable, locally owned solutions.
Each story reflects co-design, cultural fit, and a focus on long-term institutional capacity rather than one-off projects or pilots.
Each success story follows a shared structure: the challenge, Lexington’s approach, how implementation worked on the ground, and the measurable results achieved alongside partners.
