Our Mission Overview
About Us
Uhai for Health is a non profit organization that was founded in 2010 in Worcester Massachusetts. Uhai is a Swahili word meaning Life. Our aim is to improve the lives of the marginalized African population both in the U.S. and in Kenya through health education and promotion, research, screening and referral.
According to research, immigrant populations are vulnerable to health disparities and they disproportionately suffer from many serious diseases while experiencing significantly worse health outcomes. World Health Organization report stated that Africa’s health problems are getting worse especially the rise of chronic and life style diseases. Disease screening, patient education and referral for follow up can improve the health of the poor and marginalized populations that may otherwise have little or no access to healthcare.
