Public Health Advocacy Foundation
About Our Foundation
Dedicated to transforming health outcomes for vulnerable individuals and communities in South Sudan
Our Mission
We're on a mission to empower and strengthen the capacity of vulnerable individuals and communities to achieve lasting health and well-being by providing access to quality healthcare services, promoting health education, and strengthening local capacity for sustainable health solutions.
Our Vision
A South Sudan where all individuals and communities thrive with optimal health and well-being, empowered by sustainable, locally-led solutions.
Our Story
The Public Health Advocacy Foundation was born from a deep understanding of the health challenges facing South Sudan. Founded by healthcare professionals and community advocates who witnessed firsthand the barriers to accessing quality healthcare in rural and underserved areas.
Since our establishment, we have been committed to bridging the gap between healthcare needs and available resources, focusing on sustainable solutions that empower communities to take charge of their own health outcomes.
Our work is guided by the belief that every person, regardless of their location or circumstances, deserves access to essential health services and the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life.
