BUA Health Program: Fostering Community Well-being

The Building Africa (BUA) Health Program is dedicated to addressing critical public health issues, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cancer and diabetes.

A symbol of Malaria and many other deadly diseases spread by this vector. The indiscriminate loss of lives; from the productive members of the community, to women and children is devastating and contributes to poverty. BUA is working to reduce this impact through strategic partnerships, innovations and dynamic collaborations to provide relief from the havoc caused by this vector.
