About


We are a female-led social enterprise passionate about public health.
 In Tanzania, the average is 1 doctor per 20,000 people, resulting in one of the highest global rates of deaths from preventable diseases. WHO (World Health Organisation) recommends 1 doctor per 1,000 people.

For the past 5 years, we have been working to create a solution that brings health to people's fingertips. Mobile afya is the first application in Africa using internet-free mobile technology (USSD) to provide basic health information and education in local and native languages starting with Swahili in Tanzania, East Africa. 

 In addition to health information, our app users can call doctors and ask questions or seek consultation about their health and well-being. The application works on both feature phones (offline phones) and smartphones. 

Topics covered are:- 
  1. COVID-19 
  2. Diseases (Infectious, NCDs and NTDs) 
  3. Basic first aid 
  4. Women's Health (menstrual and maternal health)
  5. Nutrition education (including for pregnant women) 
  6. Parenting tools (focusing on adolescent health) 

Our Sustainability model 
Year long impact  - It costs  €1 . 85 / $1.90 to cover annual subscription - 12 months of access to the health app. 

Help us help others - WE NEED YOU! 
We are looking for individuals and partners to sponsor app access for vulnerable communities. 
Who is vulnerable: people living with disabilities, those living in extreme poverty (in rural areas), women and people living with chronic diseases such as HIV. 

Donate today and support health for all. 
Thanks!
