About Us

UZIMA is a Burundian non profit organization created by young medical doctor in 2018 after graduation from their medical school. Their vision was driven by the conviction that the health of our communities is the backbone of sustainability and development. We dream to achieve the highest level of healthy communities and bridging the gap between communities and health systems.

We promote health. We promote life.

Our approach

Our Approach

  1. Awareness
  2. Advocacy
  3. Action

Health Education

We put the community at the center of our interventions and health education is a strong tool for health promotion. We ran a campaign about major health issues in our communities. Our flagship health education program is breast cancer awareness and advocacy. Breast cancer is the first cancer worldwide, with high mortality and morbidity. Unfortunately, in developing countries like Burundi, survival is still far away due to lack of interventions and actions towards women cancer.

Capacity building for health professionals

We believe that for achieving sustainable change and development, our health system interventions should be tailored to the needs and resources of the community and provide practical and efficient intervention. We believe that improving organizational and interventional skills for health proffessionals can improve health service delivery.
