VAKA HEALTH FOUNDATION

In an African word widely understood across the continent, VAKA means to build, to develop, or to stand guard. True to its name, the Vaka Health Foundation is building the future of African healthcare from the ground up. Recognizing that strong health outcomes depend entirely on the people on the front lines, Vaka leverages scalable, fit-for-purpose mobile technology to deliver world-class medical education and professional development directly to the pockets of healthcare workers. From bustling urban medical centers to the most remote rural clinics, Vaka is erasing geographic boundaries, micro-credentialing local talent, and equipping Africa's nursing and midwifery workforce with the critical skills needed to transform community health.
