Countries we are working in

PHA is actively working and expanding its reach in South Africa, Zimbabwe, eSwatini, and Nigeria. Our remote teams in these four countries are driving PHA’s mission forward by addressing health challenges through our four key pillars: raising awareness of health issues, enhancing communication, advocating for health, and implementing impactful projects.

We, as the co-founders, have a strong love for public health and Africa. We have a passion for Public Health and want to see the improvement of this sector in Africa. We originally had our own initiatives but decided to join forces for a more effective and sustainable outcome. Africa faces a few health problems-inadequate health services, poor health infrastructure, limited access to water and electricity, and barriers to accessing quality, safe and affordable healthcare. To address these challenges in service delivery in the health sector, we aim to partner with African established organisations that share the same vision as us and collaborate with them to address these gaps. We will raise awareness of these issues through our projects as well as on our social media platforms, in alignment with our four main portfolios:

Through these services, we envision an Africa with access to quality safe and affordable healthcare. The right to health is the right to the enjoyable of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Thus, through our service deliveries, barriers to healthcare may be removed, and health may be promoted amongst the most vulnerable populations.
