Akanne Health is a Nigerian non-profit organisation helping individuals, families, and communities make healthier choices through simple health education, practical outreach, nutrition awareness, and compassionate community support.
Why Our Work Matters
Many illnesses affecting Nigerian families can be prevented or managed through early action, healthy habits, and the right support:
Malaria & NTDs: Over 100 million Nigerians are at risk of neglected tropical diseases, and malaria remains a leading cause of illness.
Chronic Diseases: Conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes are often detected too late due to a lack of screenings.
Every family deserves clear health education, and every community deserves the chance to live healthier.
What We Do
Health Education
We create simple, practical health education through videos, articles, workshops, and community campaigns that help people make informed decisions about their health.
Community Outreach
We organise health awareness outreaches, community engagement activities, and educational events that bring health information directly to the people.
Caregiver Support
We provide educational resources and guidance that help family caregivers better support children, older adults, and loved ones living with health challenges.
Nutrition Insight
Good nutrition is the foundation of good health. We promote healthy eating, nutrition education, and practical community-based food initiatives that support healthier families.
Our Impact
Every journey begins with one step. We are committed to reaching more communities every year.
