Better epilepsy care, powered by community and technology.

NeuroReach Africa uses everyday digital tools to reach people living with epilepsy, their caregivers and the healthcare workers who support them, closing the treatment gap with information, connection and care, not lab science.

Our Mission

Closing the epilepsy treatment gap across Africa, one conversation, one phone, one community at a time.

An estimated 80% of people living with epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa do not receive the treatment they need. Stigma, distance, cost and a shortage of trained healthcare workers keep them apart from care.

We meet people where they already are, on their phones, in their homes, in their communities, with information they can trust and support they can feel.

Who we help

A circle of care around every person with epilepsy

Our work supports four overlapping groups, because epilepsy is never carried by one person alone.

Patients

People living with epilepsy who deserve clear answers and connection.

Caregivers

Families and friends supporting a loved one day to day.

Healthcare workers

Pharmacists, nurses and doctors on the front line of community care.

The wider public

Neighbours, teachers and employers, because awareness ends stigma.

What we do

Four ways we reach more minds

See our approach

Digital education

Plain-language epilepsy information delivered through the mobile phones people already use.

Community support

Connecting patients, caregivers and healthcare workers so no one navigates epilepsy alone.

Treatment guidance

Practical tools that help people understand and stick with their treatment safely.

Multidisciplinary research

Real-world studies co-designed by pharmacists, clinicians and public health practitioners with the communities they serve, in Kenya and Zimbabwe.

Where we work

Starting in Kenya and Zimbabwe. Built to scale across Africa.

Our work begins in Kenya and Zimbabwe, two countries with vibrant communities, strong mobile networks and an urgent need to expand epilepsy care beyond the walls of a clinic. From this foundation, we are designing every tool and partnership to scale into other African countries as we grow.
