Why the Uhuru Health Festival?

The African community of Alameda County, and Oakland in particular, suffer from grave disparities in nearly every area of health and wellness.

The Uhuru Health Festival = POWER.

The Uhuru Health Festival is making health information, resources and services accessible to our community so that we can have power over our own health!

There is growing resistance in our community to reject the disparities that we face every day.

We must have power in our own hands to determine our own future as African people. 

Join the Uhuru Health Festival committee! Next meeting is:

Monday, March 11th @ 6:30 pm

Akwaaba Hall

7911 MacArthur Blvd., Oakland
