Our Model
Ubuntu-Afya: Community-owned, financially sustainable, and integrated healthcare
Community-Owned Healthcare that Scales
Ubuntu Afya is rooted in community ownership. Clinics are co-owned with local groups, supported by community savings and county partnerships, creating a resilient, financially sustainable network that delivers high-quality, integrated care where it is needed most.
Community Ownership
Self-help groups co-own and co-manage Ubuntu-Afya kiosks, ensuring local control, accountability, and culturally grounded care.
Financial Sustainability
Community savings and credit schemes subsidize patient costs and support operations, enabling long-term viability and growth.
Integrated Services
Comprehensive care spanning maternal and child health, infectious diseases, HIV care, and chronic disease management—connected by digital health.
