Pamoja Afya Bora means Together for Better Health. It’s our community-led approach to strengthening mental health and wellbeing in Zanzibar, focusing on prevention, early support, and better connections between families and local services. Through this programme, we support practical, community-level health action so families get the right information, seek care earlier, and are better supported before small issues become emergencies.

Pamoja Afya Bora is built for lasting change. Instead of focusing only on one-off distributions or awareness days, we invest in community-led health strengthening that can continue beyond a single season. That means supporting the “how” of better health: trusted messengers, consistent follow-up, and practical knowledge families can use every day. This is what turns mental health support into mental health resilience, so progress holds even when conditions become harder.
A healthier community is not built only through treatment, it’s built through prevention, knowledge, and trust.
Pamoja Afya Bora exists so families are supported earlier, mothers are healthier, children grow stronger, and communities are equipped to protect wellbeing long after the initial intervention ends.
Real updates. Real impact.
Explore how your support is changing lives, project by project.
Our goal now is to expand Pamoja Afya Bora into more villages, equipping new groups of volunteers, strengthening mental health literacy, and ensuring families receive support before crises escalate. With your partnership, we can build healthier, more resilient communities where no one faces illness alone.
