WENAF — Wellness Advocacy for Africa
Our Framework

Five Domains of Wellness

Our holistic approach addresses five interconnected dimensions of human wellness, each mapped to specific UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Physical Wellness

We address physical health through community-based screenings, nutrition education, disease prevention campaigns, maternal and child health programs, and partnerships with local health facilities. Our approach empowers individuals with knowledge and access to preventive care.

  • Health Worker Training
Psychological Wellness

Mental health remains one of Africa's most neglected wellness dimensions. WENAF works to destigmatize mental illness, train community mental health first responders, provide psychosocial support, and advocate for policy changes that prioritize mental health funding.

Healthy societies require equity, inclusion, and cohesion. We champion gender equality, youth empowerment, disability inclusion, and community governance programs that strengthen the social fabric and ensure no one is left behind.
