Over 1 billion people worldwide are living in slums and underserved areas. In Africa, about 80% lack access to quality healthcare services.
- About our work
How We Work
We believe lasting impact comes from deep collaboration with governments, schools, funders, health facilities, and communities—building models that governments (or institutions) can own, institutionalize, and scale nationally.
Through advocacy, research, and low-cost technology, we drive sustainable, lasting change in underserved, low-resource communities.
Our Priorities
Mental Health and Wellbeing
We prioritize accessible, culturally relevant mental health support that strengthens emotional resilience and promotes overall wellbeing, especially among underserved populations.
Digital Health, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
We leverage digital health tools, AI, and data-driven solutions to improve access to care, enhance decision-making, and drive scalable health innovations.
Gender Equality
We promote gender equality by addressing systemic barriers, amplifying marginalized voices, and supporting inclusive programs that empower women and girls.
Community Organising
We work with communities, not just for them—building local capacity, fostering participation, and supporting grassroots action for sustainable change.
Research and Evidence Generation
We generate and apply high-quality research to inform policy, strengthen programs, and ensure interventions are guided by evidence and real-world impact.
