AfyaShare is building a community-powered healthcare financing model that helps churches, families, chamas and employers prepare for healthcare together before illness becomes a financial crisis.
Across Africa, communities are willing to support one another during illness. But treatment often depends on how quickly emergency funds can be raised. Healthcare should begin with preparedness—not panic.
When illness strikes, many families begin with:
Communities care deeply. The challenge is not willingness. The challenge is preparedness.
Churches, families, chamas and employers already solve problems together every day. The willingness already exists. What is missing is a structured way to prepare for healthcare before emergencies happen.
Faith communities already care for members during difficult times.
Savings groups have shown that communities can achieve more together.
Families naturally support one another through life's challenges.
Healthy employees build stronger businesses and stronger communities.
AfyaShare is developing a community health fund that enables trusted groups to prepare for healthcare before emergencies happen.
Instead of waiting until illness strikes, communities contribute gradually into a shared healthcare fund that can support members whenever medical care is needed.
AfyaShare complements—not replaces—existing healthcare financing such as SHIF, NHIF and private insurance. Our goal is to help communities prepare together, reducing delays caused by emergency fundraising.
"Healthcare should begin with preparedness, not panic."
Stronger communities where families, churches, chamas, employers and healthcare providers work together to ensure no one delays treatment because funds could not be raised in time.
AfyaShare builds upon systems communities already trust. No complicated technology. Just a better way to prepare for healthcare together.
A church, chama, employer or family creates a shared healthcare fund.
Small, regular contributions help the community prepare before illness happens.
When illness occurs, the community fund helps members access timely healthcare.
Partner clinics and hospitals receive payment, helping members obtain care without unnecessary delays.
AfyaShare strengthens existing communities by providing a structured approach to healthcare preparedness.
Faith communities preparing together so members can access healthcare without emergency fundraising.
Savings groups extending their spirit of cooperation into healthcare preparedness.
Helping loved ones prepare together for unexpected medical expenses.
Supporting healthier teams while strengthening employee wellbeing.
Partnering with communities to improve timely access to healthcare services.
Supporting sustainable, community-led healthcare initiatives with long-term impact.
AfyaShare builds upon systems communities already know and trust. Rather than asking people to change how they care for one another, we provide a structured way for communities to prepare for healthcare together before illness becomes a financial crisis.
We are inviting organizations and community leaders to co-design the future of community healthcare preparedness.
The pilot is an opportunity to shape a new model of community healthcare preparedness together. Your ideas, experience and participation will help build something that can serve communities across Kenya and eventually across Africa.
