Who We Are

Vision

We envisage an empowered society where all persons irrespective of their race, gender, age or state of disability, are well informed, and have the needed capacity to positively influence their health determinants.

Mission

We exist to promote public health through health literacy capacity building, advocacy for social equity and community development interventions.

Our Services

Our services are not-for-profit. We drive community-health and development agenda even to the remotest parts. We spearhead programmes and projects in collaboration with philanthropies, government and private sector organizations, local and international development partners to reach out to communities via context specific strategies. Our strategies are aimed at promoting the health of children, women, young adults and the aged.

Our Projects

Transforming communities through impactful initiatives.

New project launched

Learning by doing: A peer-led mental health education programme in Ghanaian senior high schools

Community Nutrition Project

Our food and nutrition projects were community based. We taught parents how to cook nutritious foods. We also learnt what food means to different cultures.

Disease Outbreak Response

We played frontline roles in the fight against COVID-19, meningitis, rabbies, and other disease outbreaks. We conducted risk communication, community engagement, and facilitated case referrals to health facilities.

Star Readers Initiative

We developed one of the most exciting reading programmes for basic school children in 5 regions of Ghana. Our young stars are now excelling in reading and comprehension.

Livelihood Capacity Building

Small-scale business enterprises are at the core of our mandate. This project focused on building the capacity of traders, livestock, and crop farmers on financial literacy and increasing yield.

Family Planning Intervention

We helped families determine when to have children with convenient intervals. Our family planning interventions targeted youth and new couples, increasing family planning acceptor rates.

Water is Life Project

Our water and sanitation projects targeted communities practicing open defecation. We provided 49 mechanized boreholes and 88 improved facilities.

Success Stories

We give our best to society. Some of our beneficiaries have volunteered to share their stories with the world.

At first, reading was my biggest problem in school. My friends used to mock at me and I felt like dropping out. So when I heard that we are going to have a reading programme, I was the first person to show up. Now I can read like any other student…. Thanks to the people who brought this programme to our school.

This nutrition programme taught me a life lesson. I thought I needed lots of money to prepare good food for my family. This programme taught me how to combine our local foods to make my children grow healthy and strong.

How I wish this training programme came earlier to our community. Those times we used get a lot of money from our businesses but we didn’t manage it well. It’s not like now that things are difficult. But with this knowledge I am sure I can save some money and expand my business.

I never did family planning because the way people talk about family planning was frightening. I now understand that family planning is not only by injection. I didn’t know you have to make your own choice. Now I can have my next child when I am ready. I thank Africa HPO.

I was not going to the hospital because my insurance was dead some long time ago. But after GIZ and the NGO came and renewed it, I started visiting the hospital. That was when I realized I had a serious health problem but thank God I have been treated.
