WAJAMAMA is a women-led social enterprise-NGO hybrid built on the belief that initiatives aimed at creating the greatest social change must prioritize the beginning of life. Because each life begins inside of a woman, our holistic health care model primarily focuses on women and girls. Our mission is to improve the wellbeing of communities in Zanzibar by making holistic health care services accessible to women and girls of all socioeconomic backgrounds. Our model is designed to ensure that women and girls are the healthiest versions of themselves; physically, mentally, and socially. We are working towards achieving SDGs 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, and 3.7 through the following key services and initiatives: - Preventative family and women's health care - Group prenatal care - Cervical and breast cancer screening and prevention - Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) workshops - Community fitness and yoga classes * Each visit to our Private WAJAMAMA Wellness Center helps support our community initiatives through the WAJAMAMA Foundation*
