Our Strategy

Community Wellness Africa’s programs entail working for and with the community. We have adopted a partnership model that brings together different stakeholders with our shared vision on community health and development.

Some of the activities geared towards the realization of our strategy include:

 

 • Adapting a science-based approach in community entry, mobilization, sensitization, and implementing our programs. Our collective social action model aims at improving the livelihood of the poor and the vulnerable.

• We mobilize community members and engage them in impactful capacity-building activities within their locality with the aim of enabling them to take charge of their personal and community health.

 

 •As an organization, we engage in advocacy to champion the rights of women, adolescents, and children.
