Mission and Vision

Mission​
Sikhona Inc, works for Health Equity by promoting holistic health and wellness for individuals and communities. Sikhona provides  information, education, resources and organizational support that is culturally competent, contextually appropriate and spiritually integrated for Africana people. Sikhona works towards the elimination of health care disparities for African Americans, while recognizing the universality of health and wellness global relationships are encouraged.  Committed to the integration of spirituality, medicine, health, and well-being,  Sikhona  engages with the congregations as well as faith based, community, educational, medical, social services, and non-governmental organizations to raise awareness and deliver services.  Sikhona works primarily through local congregations. There are four areas of engagement:
  • ​Global Health for Women and Girls; 
  • Africana  Male Health; 
  • Africana Cancer Awareness, Prevention, Treatment and Survivorship; and
  • Africana Trauma Awareness, Prevention and Treatment. ​
Vision
We see a world where the health disparities are eliminated, and Africana people have access to quality, affordable, culturally competent and contextually relevant health and wellness information, resources, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and health management. This is operationalized as:
 
  • Access to affordable, high quality health and wellness care services and resources within or contiguous to the local community in state-of-the-art facilities.
  • Health and wellness are integrated into the all aspects of life; where health care addresses the whole person: spiritual, physical, psychological, emotional, behavioral, social, and communal. 
  • Integrative medicine is the norm; health care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of medical professionals including spiritual and faith practitioners; this team values and understand the local community and culture.  We engage and value multiple epistemologies.
  • Children being taught healthy traditional medicine, as well as, all aspects of the sciences and technology as they are being prepared for careers in health, allied health, science, technology, and counseling.
