Handles partnerships with burial groups, schools, government and health facilities — making sure IHP stays connected to the communities it serves.
We are a Bushenyi-based organisation helping village households pay for healthcare without selling assets or going into debt. Founded in 1999; running community insurance since 2007.
Healthy families. Financial protection. Strong communities.
Communities where every household can get care when they need it — without a medical bill wiping out their savings.
We improve health and wellbeing in rural Bushenyi through affordable insurance, safe motherhood work, prevention, and partnerships with the schools, SACCOs and clinics people already use.
Grow from just over 5,000 members today to 20,000 by 2031 — with a scheme that stays transparent, well-run and genuinely owned by the community.
When illness hits and there is no money at home — crops unsold, school fees due, a loan still outstanding — families delay care or borrow. IHP exists so they can prepare before that moment arrives.
We work through structures villagers already trust: burial groups, churches, farmer associations, SACCOs, women's groups and local leaders. That is how health financing becomes something people understand and accept.

Less money paid out of pocket at the clinic. Fewer families selling land or livestock because someone got sick.
Mama Kits, antenatal visits and delivery planning — especially for mothers who cannot afford supplies on their own.
Village talks and school sessions on malaria, hygiene, nutrition and HIV — catching problems before they need a hospital bill.
Elderly people, orphans, pregnant mothers and chronically ill members should not be excluded because they are poor.
A Board sets direction. Committees handle admin, finance and fundraising. Staff run day-to-day work. Community reps keep us honest at the village level.
Sets policy, approves budgets and holds management accountable to members and partners.
Administration, finance and resource mobilisation — each with a clear remit.
Enrolment, mobilisation, claims, premiums, reporting — the daily running of the scheme.
Follow up on renewals, pass member concerns back to the office, help with village sensitisation.
