About NZACHS

New Zealand African Community Health Services Incorporated is a charitable organisation established in collaboration with New Zealand African Welfare Service Trust since 2014.
The organisation was created to address the unmet health needs of African populations living in Aotearoa and its relevance became more felt by the African communities during the recent surge of Covid-19 pandemic.

Our Vision is an inclusive and accessible Health system that addresses and meets the needs of its various populations including African living in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Objectives

Mission
