Mission

The African Family Health Organization (AFAHO) is a non-profit, ethnic, community-based organization that supports African and Caribbean immigrants and refugees (ACIR) to access critical health, social and educational programs in the greater Philadelphia area. We work to mitigate barriers, strengthen community health culture and facilitate social integration through the utilization of a unique peer support model that uses shared language, cultural expertise, advocacy, and system navigation knowledge to help individuals and families overcome social determinants, build community connections, and gain information and resources needed to thrive and improve their health outcomes.
