We are driven by the philosophy that the best way to enhance an individual’s health and overall well-being is to give them awareness/information. Our skills-based activities include:
We are partners with local, national, regional and global health partnerships to make a strong case for UHC in which quality care, reduction in costs of obtaining health care, improvement in healthcare workforce and primary health care are key priorities.
As HIV is a major health challenge in Sub-Sahara Africa, all our activities prioritise increasing essential services for persons living with HIV, primary prevention of HIV and voluntary counselling and testing.
We work to promote and improve the health and well-being of adolescents through research, advocacy, and knowledge dissemination; to increase adolescents’ access to health and well-being services.
Our advocacy equally targets the improvement and expansion of essential services reaching nursing mothers, women, new-borns and children as well as strategies to end preventable maternal and new-born mortality.

Our advocacy actions stress on meaningful engagement of concerned stakeholders.
• We advocate from grassroots to grasstops for policies, service delivery and increased financing targeting the health and well-being of vulnerable populations.
• Our value added in advocacy is the creation of tools to guide implementation, for instance, our Sexuality Education manual for secondary schools.
We research on activities that promote sustainable development.
• We research to diagnose gaps in essential health and well-being services,
• We develop and promote evidence for action to improve the health and well-being of girls/women, children, adolescents, persons in humanitarian and fragile settings (HFS) and other vulnerable populations.
Developing and disseminating toolkits across target populations enhances our education, advocacy, research and analysis activities.
