Our Programs

Four pillars. Fifteen focus areas. One continuum of care.

Every HFI programme sits inside one of four connected pillars — spanning frontline health service delivery, community well-being, workforce and innovation, and the livelihoods that sustain it all.

Pillar I

Health Systems & Service Delivery

Strengthening the foundations primary care runs on, from facility readiness to the specific conditions affecting the most women, children, and families.

Primary Healthcare Systems Strengthening

Improving facility readiness, referral pathways, and the everyday systems primary care depends on.

Maternal, Newborn, Child and Reproductive Health

Expanding access to safe pregnancy, delivery, newborn, and reproductive health services.

HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Management

Supporting prevention, testing, treatment, and continuity of care for HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) & Sickle Cell Disease

Improving screening, management, and long-term care pathways for NCDs and sickle cell disease.

Health Financing & Sustainability

Working with partners on financing models that keep essential services affordable and available.

Pillar II

Community, Equity & Social Well-being

Meeting people where they are — through education, nutrition, and dedicated support for those least reached by existing services.

Community Health Education & Behavior Change

Delivering health literacy and behavior-change programming led by trusted community voices.

Pillar IV
