OUR STORY
Who We Are
The Foundation for Public Health Promotion (FPHP) is a South African Non-Profit Company (NPC) established in 2018, providing multidisciplinary technical assistance, capacity building, research, and data-driven solutions across the public health and development sectors.
We partner with government departments, NGOs and NPOs, universities, philanthropic foundations, international donors, and private sector organisations to design, strengthen, and scale high-impact programmes across South Africa and the SADC region.

Our Purpose
FPHP exists to strengthen systems, build institutional capacity, and generate evidence that improves health and development outcomes for underserved communities.
