Who We Are
AfriAfya (African Network for Health Knowledge Management and Communication) is non-profit organization
NGO that was established in April 2000 as consortium of eight Kenya-based health development agencies to
explore use of modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) for community health and development.
Specifically, we work with rural and urban poor communities to improve their access to health
and development information. We do this through innovative projects that integrate a wide range
of modern and traditional ICTs to tackle common health problems and improve the livelihoods of
these marginalized communities.

and healthy communities, contributing to social transformation.

disseminate information.
Our Objectives
I. Exploring, developing and demonstrating innovative and participatory models for knowledge
management and communication.
II. Establishing sustainable, collaborative communications networks to identify information needs.
III. Developing a reliable procedure for collecting, validating and synthesizing local and
global information.
