Our story began with the OASIS project, investigating open architecture in low-resource settings. We soon needed a home for all this work and so spun Jembi out of the Medical Research Council. Continuing to grow with programmes in Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa and Zimbabwe. In 2009, we registered Jembi Health Systems as a non-profit company.
From the start, our strength was in the networks we support and cultivate. Our unique approach to partnering with governments to ensure the sustainability of our programmes. Acting as an intermediary between the public sector and our donors. Facilitating links between country programmes and the wider international open-source communities. These connections and partnerships were the sources of rapid, organic growth that required the refocused vision and mission. Clear messages about who we are and what projects we take on.
