Health Alliance

Working with Communities for Better Health

A public benefit initiative promoting health literacy, chronic disease support, and primary care innovation in Kenya.

Tujali Afya Health Alliance is a grassroots movement working to transform community health in Kenya through collaborative, sustainable, and person-centered approaches. We bring together experts, caregivers, patient groups, and communities to reimagine health promotion and support—especially for chronic diseases, cancer, and mental health.

Our Vision

A society where every individual and community can live in full health and dignity, supported by systems they trust and help shape.

Our Mission

To work with communities to advance person-centered care, enhance health literacy, and develop sustainable, locally driven responses to non-communicable diseases, cancer, and mental health.

We do this by:

  • Promoting home-based care and prevention
  • Facilitating local innovations in health access and delivery
  • Partnering with public, private, and community actors for integrated health solutions

Our projects address critical health needs through community-driven solutions and innovative support systems.
