Who is bongaa health foundation
The BONGAA Foundation is a well-established and highly dedicated Community-Based Organization (CBO) with a rich history of serving the community. Founded in early 2023, our organization emerged from a shared vision to address health disparities within our local area and create a healthier, more equitable society. Since our inception, we have been committed to fighting against the adverse effects of health inequalities, with a specific focus on addressing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and mental illness.
Our Mission
We advocate for health living
At the core of our identity is a deeply ingrained mission: to eliminate health disparities by raising awareness, providing essential support, advocating for evidence-based policy changes, and fostering collaboration in the battle against cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and mental illness. We believe that through these fundamental pillars, we can effect meaningful change in the lives of individuals and families within our community.

My interest in advocating NCDs
In religious settings, particularly churches, play an important role to disseminate and translate evidence-based health programmes for non-communicable diseases.Religious practices as religion may serve as a psychological mechanism for coping with high levels of stress and anxiety within the sub-optimal social and economic environments often prevalent. The popularity of religion provides an opportunity to address a large body of people.
