Our Mission

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

Our Vision

GLOBAL AWARENESS OF CHRONIC DISEASES
In our lifetime, we will see everyone on the continent aware of how to prevent and manage non-communicable diseases and empowered to pass the message on. Through the synergy of our human potential, we will see the looming epidemic of non-communicable disease become stalemated and then reversed.

“

In our lifetime, non-communicable diseases will kill more Africans than infectious diseases. They are silent killers and so most people find out that they have them when it is already too late. It is not only sad but unjust and we need to do something about it. Click here to find out our comprehensive multi pronged solution.
