Our History

The NGO “KV-HELP” has been active in rural Tanzania since 2013. It is a spin-off of the “ACCESS Program”, a long-standing venture between the Novartis Foundation, the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) and the Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) in Tanzania (2003 – 2011). ACCESS improved the people’s access to quality medical care.

Who we are

It acts as a platform for small-scale entrepreneurs and smallholder farmers to acquire vital knowledge and skills for sustaining and promoting healthy livelihoods in their families and communities.
