Founder
Zorbari Stephen is the founder of the Afiyavest Community Health Initiative (AfiCHI), driven by a deep commitment to advancing equity in healthcare for underserved and vulnerable communities. With extensive experience in digital health, public-sector engagement, and community-centered innovation, he has dedicated his career to bridging the gaps that prevent low-income households from accessing quality and affordable care.
His motivation comes from witnessing first-hand the disparities in healthcare access across Nigeria and Africa, where geography, income, and systemic limitations often determine health outcomes. This inspired him to build solutions that combine technology, partnerships, and community-driven action to create sustainable pathways to care.
Through AfiCHI, Zorbari leads efforts that integrate medical outreach, preventive health education, and group health insurance sponsorship ensuring that families in hard-to-reach communities are not left behind. His work reflects a strong belief that innovation and compassion, when applied together, can transform health systems and improve lives at scale.
