VillageReach www.villagereach.org VillageReach transforms health care delivery to reach everyone, so that each person has the health care needed to thrive.

We develop solutions that improve equity and access to primary health care. This includes making sure products are available when and where they are needed and primary health care services are delivered to the most under-reached. Radical collaboration with governments, the private sector and other partners strengthen our ability to scale and sustain these solutions. Our work increases access to quality health care for 46 million people in sub-Saharan Africa.

What gets lost when health data is averaged?

Speaking at a UNGA side event on Sierra Leone's Triple Zero gains, VillageReach CEO Dr. Ahmed Ogwell explained why district health officers need access to their own numbers.

When local teams can see what's happening in their communities, they can spot problems early and do something about them, instead of letting those problems disappear into national averages.

Data should serve the community it comes from first.

Meet Verónica, a mother of eight and a "model mother" in her community in Mozambique. 💚

After a VillageReach training on HPV and cervical cancer prevention, Verónica took what she learned straight to her neighbors. Using illustrated cards and posters, she talks with teenagers, women and men about what HPV is, how the vaccine helps prevent cervical cancer and where to get care.

Rumors about the vaccine are common where she lives, but Verónica isn't discouraged. "It's not about what people believe now, but about what I committed myself to do," she says.

When health information comes from someone you know and trust, it can help save lives.

The best outbreak response begins before an outbreak starts.

Read how East Africa's One-Stop Border Post approach is helping strengthen Ebola preparedness through better cross-border coordination, disease surveillance, and early warning systems.

From border screening to community-based reporting and rapid response frameworks, these systems help countries detect potential threats earlier and respond more effectively. The goal is simple: stop outbreaks before they become larger public health emergencies.

Access to trusted health information can be life-changing, especially for underreached communities.

Through AlôVida, Mozambique's toll-free health center by phone, community members can get answers to health questions and concerns 24 hours a day in Portuguese and Mozambican languages. VillageReach is proud to support this service, along with its WhatsApp platform, which has helped connect families to reliable information and support childhood vaccination efforts.

By bringing health information closer to communities, AlôVida is helping people make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

How do we make improvements in health care last?

“The community must remain at the center of every solution,” says Wema, reflecting on VillageReach’s work in Tanzania.

Whether helping medicines reach health facilities or connecting people to health advice by phone, communities need a voice in how services are planned and delivered.

Strong partnerships and early government involvement matter—as does adapting when national priorities change.

Watch Wema explain why these lessons are essential to building health services that meet people’s needs

How can better data help ensure vaccines are available for children and communities?

In Mozambique, the Ministry of Health and its partners are strengthening vaccine forecasting and supply planning by combining routine health and supply chain data with more regular review and collaboration.

Through the JSI-led Immunization Collaborative Supply Planning Strengthening (ICSPS) project, this work is supporting a more responsive approach to identifying potential supply gaps and planning vaccine needs throughout the year.

Teachers are helping lead the conversation on HPV and cervical cancer prevention in Mozambique.

With training and educational materials from VillageReach, educators are giving students the knowledge and confidence to understand HPV, ask questions, challenge misinformation, and make informed decisions about vaccination.

The story of Celestina Armando shows how trusted teachers can extend health education beyond the classroom, helping students and their families better understand the importance of HPV vaccination and cervical cancer prevention.

Strong community engagement is essential to reaching every child with life-saving vaccines.

VillageReach is supporting refresher training for Bate-Papo Focal Points in Mopeia District, one of the intervention areas in Zambézia Province. The training is strengthening their capacity to engage communities, coordinate local outreach efforts, and connect caregivers to routine immunization services through both health facilities and mobile brigades.

By equipping trusted community actors with the tools and knowledge they need, we're helping bring vaccination services closer to families and ensuring more children receive the protection they deserve.
