Our Mission

Fighting non-communicable diseases in Africa through the voices and creativity of everyday people

Our Vision

GLOBAL AWARENESS OF CHRONIC DISEASES
We want to see everyone on the continent aware of how to prevent and manage non-communicable diseases and empowered to pass the message on.

“

In our lifetime, it is projected that non-communicable diseases will kill more Africans than infectious diseases. They are silent killers, leading to preventable death, injury and poverty. It is not only sad but unjust and we need to do something about it.
