AfriAfya

Creating universal and equitable access to quality health and development for communities by linking information processes.

A non-profit and non-governmental organization that seeks to harness Information Communication Technologies (ICT) for improved health and development, particularly among rural and marginalized communities in Africa. While modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have provided commercial entities, universities, ministries, research institutions and big hospitals with information for their activities,they have done relatively little for rural communities. Rural and poor communities are left out of the benefits that arise from these modern ICTs-in both giving and receiving information. Despite this being the information age, millions of children and youths have been denied the empowerment that comes with information. Children, being the generation of the future ought to be exposed to potentially useful health and development information that will arguably shape a better future for them. World Vision Kenya and AfriAfya have formed a partnership geared towards improving the use of ICTs for increased health and development, knowledge sharing, and teaching among children, women, and people with disabilities.
