Unite for Health, founded in Cameroon in 2007, is a healthcare nonprofit with a mission to help pregnant women, mothers and young children in underserved communities. Women in rural villages across Africa lack access to adequate healthcare resulting in tragic and avoidable levels of maternal and child mortality.
We find innovative ways to help women.
Unite for Health reaches out in different ways to bring healthcare, screenings, and health education to women who need it most because we believe women’s health, well-being, and empowerment are pivotal to societal growth. We will never give up in the ongoing fight for a healthier, more equitable world.
Our projects include:
celebrating mothers on Women’s Day.
Our Maternal & Child Health Program for International Women’s Day attracted 200 women In Misaje Subdivision. They learned about maternal health and every pregnant woman recieved a free ultrasound, a potentially life-changing gift.
Galvanizing women ‘shaa’-makers.
In Misaje, ‘Shaa’ is a much-loved drink made by women that is traditionally drunk from a shared cup rinsed in a bucket of water, a ritual that can spread cholera, typhoid or tuberculosis. In 2013, Elvis decided to mitigate the risks and empower the women.
spreading hope, One Home At A Time.
In collaboration with Bronco Power Boost and Internetbar.org, we distributed Medical & Solar Power Kits to five families in Oku, a rural village of subsistence farmers. With inadequate healthcare and years of no electricity, a light and a thermometer change lives.
GIVING EVERY BABY a healthy start to life.
Every child has the right to a safe, medically supervised delivery. Unite for Health has never turned away a pregnant woman for not being able to pay. Mothers leave our micro-clinics grateful for a free delivery and a healthy newborn.
