About
Community Health Entrepreneurship
Since 2022, our Community Health Entrepreneurship programme has supported rural women to become health entrepreneurs, promoting wellbeing through basic diagnostics and screening for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Community Health Entrepreneurs, or CHEs, bridge the last-mile diagnostics gap, enabling community members, particularly women, to take charge of their own health.
The Model
- Health Training
Foundational and ongoing health knowledge that CHEs carry into community-level impact.
- Community Outreach
Peer support and enterprise development, rooted in local trust.
- Digital Tools
Technology that helps CHEs track, communicate and deliver basic health diagnostics.
- Service Delivery
Essential diagnostics delivered at the door steps with connectivity to medical practitioners.

CHEs are proof that community health does not need to wait for a clinic to arrive. It can be carried, door to door, by a woman her neighbours already trust.
