Today, 2,164 babies and 407 mothers in Africa will die from preventable causes.

Thousands of mothers, children, and other vulnerable and underserved people in sub-Saharan Africa are dying from preventable diseases and conditions because health workers and health facilities lack the knowledge and tools they need to provide quality care to their patients.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.

WE ARE TRANSFORMING AFRICAN HEALTH CENTERS

To provide quality, sustainable healthcare. but we need your support.

Guided by the belief that every individual deserves an equal opportunity to lead a healthy and whole life, we improve the quality of health systems in sub-Saharan Africa from the ground up.
