Curation
Evidence selected and structured against a fixed quality specification not a loose reading list.
Preventive child health,
for every African child.
Evidence, education, and equitable access built for African families, schools, and health systems.
01 Mission
Evidence to everyday child health.
A future where every African child has access to evidence-based, culturally relevant support for healthier growth and development.
Africa's Child Health Intelligence Infrastructure making prevention the default for every child.
The Gap
Credible child health knowledge rarely reaches the families who need it most. Evidence stays locked in journals; guidance is fragmented, imported, or commercial.
Our Approach
We build a rigorous African child health evidence base, translate it into clear guidance, and deliver it through FAMILIES, schools, communities, and partners.
02 Flagship Resource
The African Child Health Evidence Vault
A public knowledge base for African child health.
A structured, continuously audited repository of child health evidence graded for quality, weighted toward African research, organized across our six pillars, and translated into guidance families and institutions can use. Held by the Foundation as a public good.
Verification
Every entry is independently audited: citations, sources, and claims checked and corrected.
Translation
Rigorous findings turned into plain, culturally relevant guidance for parents, schools, and health workers.
03 Framework
Six pillars of child health.
The interconnected foundations of how a child grows, develops, and thrives and the structure of everything we publish.
