Who We Are

We don't just provide healthcare, we revolutionize it.

At SFH, we believe that healthcare is not just about treatment; it's about creating a sustainable, life-changing impact.

We are pioneering a future where primary healthcare is accessible, equitable, and technology-driven. With over 13 years of experience, we have emerged as Rwanda's leading force in social marketing, behavior change communication, and decentralized healthcare, ensuring last-mile delivery of high-quality health services.

Vision

Optimizing access to equitable primary health care for healthier lives in Rwanda and beyond.

SFH Rwanda envisions a future where high-quality primary healthcare is accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status. This vision is rooted in a commitment to addressing critical health challenges in Rwanda, including family planning, HIV and AIDS, maternal and child health, malaria, and malnutrition. The organization achieves this by:

  • Decentralizing Healthcare

    Through initiatives like the Second-Generation Health Posts that bring hospital-level care closer to underserved communities.

  • Strengthening Health Systems

    By working closely with government and partners to build capacity and improve infrastructure.

  • Community-Centered Approach

    By operating at the grassroots level and engaging communities in program design and delivery.

  1. 1.

    Evidence-Based Interventions: Grounded in research, M&E, and community-specific data.
