The Economic Impact of Poor Health

Our interventions
We build healthy communities to enable people to lead more fruitful, productive lives.
ACF bridges the gap between rural communities and primary healthcare — helping to provide access and create awareness so people increase their health seeking behaviour and seek healthcare services out.
To achieve this we train and work with local women, called Sakhis, to deliver a variety of preventive and promotive health services in communities, and to facilitate the access to curative services.
