Who we are
Health Organisation Welfare (HOW) is a registered, non-profit public health organisation established in Cameroon in July 2019. The organization was conceived in November 2018 in Dschang by a multidisciplinary coalition of public health professionals responding to recurrent disease outbreaks and the escalating humanitarian crisis affecting internally displaced persons and refugees in Cameroon and across parts of West and Central Africa.
Founded by epidemiologists, physicians, medical laboratory scientists, nurses, and development practitioners, HOW was created to advance health equity and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities.
Commitment to Impact
HOW is dedicated to measurable and sustainable impact. By integrating emergency response with long-term systems strengthening, the organisation aims to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality, enhance community resilience, and contribute meaningfully to regional and global health security.
To build a world where every individual counts and where equitable health security and well-being are accessible to all.
To address critical health challenges affecting vulnerable populations across Africa through innovative, evidence-based, and sustainable interventions, while translating public health knowledge into timely and effective action within an increasingly interconnected global context.
