Our Story
Founded in 2020 in Accra, Ghana, Wellness Advocacy Africa (WENAF) emerged from a simple observation: health is not merely the absence of disease. True wellness encompasses the mind, body, community, livelihood, and environment.
Our founders — public health professionals, mental health advocates, and community organizers — recognized that existing programs often addressed wellness in silos. A family might receive malaria nets but lack access to counseling. A youth might attend skills training but live in an area without clean water.
WENAF bridges these gaps through an integrated approach aligned with 10 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Today, we operate across multiple regions in Ghana with plans to expand into neighboring West African countries.
