Our Partners

At HIPZ, we are privileged to work with an incredible network of partners who share our vision of improving healthcare across Zanzibar. Each of them plays a vital role in transforming lives, and together, we are building a stronger, healthier future for all.

St James's Foundation

We are grateful to receive support from the St. James’s Place Foundation’s Local Office Allowance. This has funded training in Paediatric Nutrition and for Community Health Workers (CHWs) to deliver Dawati Rafiki (“Friendship Bench” in Swahili) — the first and only talking therapy available in Zanzibar. Based on an evidence-backed approach cited in WHO’s community mental health guidance, this intervention helps treat depression and anxiety effectively.

Resolve to Save Lives

Programme Director
Resolve to Save Lives is a global health initiative dedicated to preventing epidemics and reducing cardiovascular disease. Their partnership with HIPZ strengthens Zanzibar’s healthcare system by providing essential tools, expertise, and resources — helping save lives every single day.

Ethicall

Ethicall have been a proud partner of HIPZ since 2014. Their support has funded the construction of Kivunge Hospital’s Primary Care Unit, improved maternal and surgical services, and provided vital training for healthcare staff. Ethicall’s commitment has strengthened local hospitals, empowered medical teams, and ensured thousands more people have access to safe, high-quality care. Beyond project funding, their unrestricted support helps sustain HIPZ’s operations and reach even more communities. We’re deeply grateful to Ethicall for being such a vital part of HIPZ’s journey.

James Tudor Foundation

A committed partner since 2022, the James Tudor Foundation is dedicated to the relief of human sickness. Their support is enabling HIPZ to establish cardiology services at Kivunge Hospital, including training local staff and providing essential diagnostic tools. This partnership ensures children with congenital heart conditions are diagnosed and treated early — saving lives and building lasting healthcare capacity.

Comfort Aid International

Since 2025, Comfort Aid International has been a valued partner in expanding cardiovascular care across Zanzibar. Their generosity has allowed us to equip hospitals and health centres with blood pressure monitors, ECGs, and echocardiogram machines. This investment empowers trained local staff to deliver life-saving services — free of charge — to the communities that need them most.

VCCP

VCCP are an invaluable partner to HIPZ, supporting us not only financially but with their world-class marketing and branding expertise. Dozens of VCCP colleagues have taken part in our Zanzibar Bike Ride Challenge, raising tens of thousands in unrestricted funds.

Shire Health

Shire Health is transforming care delivery by providing one-stop community urology services in Gloucestershire and Swindon. Their generous and consistent donations to HIPZ help strengthen healthcare systems across Zanzibar. As they put it: “We’re proud to be long-term supporters of HIPZ and their impactful work. It’s a partnership we’re privileged to support.”

International Health Partners

International Health Partners (IHP) works with pharmaceutical companies to link donations of long-dated essential medicines and healthcare products with communities in need. Their collaboration with HIPZ ensures that we can ship frequently out-of-stock medications directly into Zanzibar’s hospitals and clinics.

Evan Cornish Foundation

The Evan Cornish Foundation has played a key role in bringing mental health awareness and education to Zanzibar. They have supported Mental Health Community Outreach Days and workshops and education in schools since 2022.

Festival Medical Services

Festival Medical Services has been a trusted partner for many years, supporting projects from mental health clinic development in 2017, to ER training and equipment provision in 2023, and cardiovascular support in 2024. Their long-term commitment has helped us strengthen both emergency and community-based healthcare in Zanzibar.

Pharmanovia

Pharmanovia has supported HIPZ with a wide range of healthcare projects, from biochemistry laboratory development (2021) to First Aid and ER training (2022). They’ve have funded the shipment of 2 containers of medicines to Zanzibar, ensuring life-saving treatments reach those who need them and recently donated a large supply of hypertensive medication.

Bernhard-Nochte Institute

Our partnership with the Bernard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg is driving groundbreaking research into antimicrobial resistance. Together, we have established one of Zanzibar’s most advanced laboratories, processing samples from across the islands to improve understanding and guide treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections.

ZIDO

ZIDO has been a long-term HIPZ supporter, funding projects from ward renovations to providing ultrasound machines. Reyhana, who runs ZIDO, visits regularly and in recent years has donated baby formula for vulnerable infants in Makunduchi — supporting some of the smallest and most fragile members of the community.
