HEALTHY COMMUNITY
At United Way South Africa, we believe health is the foundation for opportunity. When people are healthy and well, they are better equipped to learn, work, and thrive. That’s why we collaborate with trusted community partners to remove barriers to healthy living and ensure that quality care is within reach for all.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy life.
From preventive health services, mental wellness support, and nutrition programmes, to initiatives that address the root causes of poor health, we’re working to make sure every person regardless of background or financial circumstances has the chance to live with dignity and vitality.
We envision a South Africa where no one must choose between putting food on the table and paying bills, where every child is nourished, and where communities are resilient against the challenges of poverty and inequality.
With the right resources, compassion, and collective action, we can make this vision a reality. Together, we’re building a healthier, stronger nation one where well-being is not a privilege, but a right.

- Healthcare and primary healthcare
