About Us
Africa Centre for Health and Consumption (ACHC)
Health and Consumption in Harmony
The Africa Centre for Health and Consumption (ACHC) is a purpose-driven non-profit organization dedicated to advancing health, wellbeing, and responsible consumption across Africa through research, advocacy, education, and community-driven interventions.
Founded on the belief that healthy populations are the foundation of sustainable development, the ACHC is a community-based organization working to address the interconnected challenges of health, lifestyle choices, consumer behavior, the environment, and social wellbeing – ultimately boosting the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
We strive to empower individuals, families, and communities with knowledge, skills, resources, and opportunities needed to make informed decisions that improve quality of life. We believe that human habits, particularly around health and consumption such as food, water, cooking, hygiene, and general wellness, should not endanger lives nor the environment which supports life.
With social impact our goal, we are focused on promoting preventive healthcare, evidence-based research, public health education, healthy lifestyles, and responsible consumption practices that contribute to healthier communities and a more sustainable world and future.
Beyond health and general wellbeing, we also hope that our initiatives help to reduce general economic and gender inequalities in communities in which we work, particularly rural areas.
