Trained Community Health Workers conduct targeted household visits to bring essential services — family planning, adolescent health, and nutrition counselling — directly to families who need them most. We focus on increasing skilled birth attendance, building health literacy, and encouraging timely care-seeking behaviour across all age groups.
RMNCAH-N sits at the core of our integrated service delivery — spanning Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health and Nutrition. We support both facility-based and community platforms, improving access to modern family planning, maternal checkups, nutritional support, and adolescent-friendly care throughout Tanzania.
We treat mental health as inseparable from physical health. Our psychosocial support services are embedded within community wellness programmes, offering structured counselling, peer support networks, and stigma-reduction initiatives. Lasting community resilience requires care for the whole person — body and mind alike.
Every programme runs in full alignment with Tanzania's Ministry of Health and local governance structures. We adopt national clinical guidelines, standardised reporting tools, and government-approved protocols — ensuring our work strengthens the public health system rather than duplicates it. Community Health Workers serve as the trusted bridge between households and formal facilities.

By pairing direct service delivery with rigorous data monitoring, behaviour change communication, and deep community engagement, Melian Foundation drives measurable progress toward SDG 3 — ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all, at every age, across Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.
