Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): Approximately 84% of African countries face significant hygiene issues. According to recent reports, about 839 million people in Africa lack basic hygiene services, with substantial disparities between urban and rural areas.
Disaster Response: According to recent data, about 93.1 million people in Africa were affected by natural disasters across the continent in 2023 including drought, floods and storm.
Community Health Assistance: Approximately 47% of rural areas in African countries lack adequate health facilities. This situation is exacerbated by a variety of factors, including insufficient infrastructure, a shortage of health professionals, and limited access to essential medical supplies and information.
