About us

Who we are

Riders for Health's vision is of a world in which no one will die of an easily preventable or curable disease because barriers of distance, terrain or poverty prevent them from being reached. Our mission is to strengthen health systems by addressing one of the most neglected, yet vital, aspects of development for the health of Africa – transport and logistics. We achieve this by managing vehicles on a reliable, predictable and cost-effective basis, to support the work of our partners whose remit is to reach rural communities with health care and other vital services. Riders for Health (Riders) is a social enterprise that works with ministries of health and other agencies to improve the health and lives of rural communities in Zimbabwe, the Gambia, Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia, Lesotho, Kenya and Malawi. Riders has a solid base of experience and expertise managing appropriate vehicles for health care delivery in Africa for over 20 years. Our UK resource office in Northampton has 30+ full-time members of staff, but the vast majority of Riders’ staff, almost 400 of them, work in our field programmes and are nationals of the countries concerned. We run more than 1,300 vehicles (a number that is growing), enabling health workers to reach more than 10 million people in rural Africa – most of these people had never seen a health worker in their community before, now they receive vital preventive health care on a regular basis.
