Mwanza, Tanzania
Born From a Simple Belief:
Healthy Planet, Healthy People
SHCI was founded in 2026 in Mwanza, Tanzania, by passionate health and environmental advocates who witnessed first-hand how climate degradation and poor public health reinforce each other in vulnerable communities. Polluted waterways spreading disease. Indoor smoke from firewood cooking triggering chronic illness. Deforested hillsides reducing rainfall and food security.
Rather than address these crises in silos, SHCI was built on the principle that climate action and health action must go hand in hand. Today we operate across multiple regions, implementing evidence-based, community-centred programs that deliver real co-benefits for both people and the planet.
