Saving the Woman’s Heart-Africa is a key project aimed at reducing cardiovascular mortality among African women. This project is anchored in a continent-wide vision, and seeks to tackle the disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) that women face due to a combination of traditional and sex-specific risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, eclampsia, and more.

Our approach is evidence-informed, community-driven, and equity-focused. We aim to transform the cardiovascular health landscape for African women by building a robust ecosystem of awareness, care, research, education, and policy change, reaching women in both urban and remote settings across Kenya and beyond.
