WHAT WE DO

We turn young Africans into health champions — in classrooms, in clinics, in parliaments.

Stowelink Foundation is a youth-led, pan-African public health organization driving bold, innovative, and inclusive solutions to today’s biggest health challenges. Founded in Kenya and now active across Africa, we specialize in preventing and managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by working at the intersection of health education, technology, advocacy, and research.

Public Health Campaigns

Delivering powerful health education programs at scale—through schools, communities, and digital platforms—to promote early prevention and healthy lifestyles.

Health Policy and Advocacy

Driving systemic change by influencing national, regional, and global health policies. We center youth voices, equity, and innovation in the decision-making process.

Public Health Research

Conducting community-led and data-driven research to generate evidence, inform programs, and shape policies and priorities around key health priorities in the region.

Public Health Innovation

Developing inclusive digital tools that make health services accessible to underserved populations, ensuring that health care is accessible to all in various formats.

Why We Exist

At Stowelink, we believe that health is a right, not a privilege, and that young people are not just the future—they are the now. We’re reimagining public health by creating scalable, digital-first, and community-powered solutions that tackle NCDs and other urgent health challenges with courage, creativity, and collaboration.

Vision:
A global model for youth-led public health transformation in Africa and beyond.
