Afi Kpaba

Community Health Worker

Integrate Health

From Sarakawa, Afi has dedicated her life to serving her community as a Community Health Worker. At the age of 21, she joined Integrate Health and soon seized the opportunity to empower women and children, promoting joy and well-being in her neighborhood. Since Integrate Health’s intervention, Afi has observed a significant drop in untreated illnesses and deaths. She looks forward to the expansion of the Integrate Health program to other communities in Togo. Afi envisions a future where improved healthcare, consistent availability of medicines, compassion, and quality of care, contribute to the well-being of families throughout the country.
