On Mafia Island, oxygen is no longer a 10 hour journey

When FREO2 announced a collaboration with Tanzania's Ministry of Health (MOH) to improve oxygen access on Mafia Island, many wondered - why this particular island? It wasn’t until the FREO2 team arrived on the island alongside the Doris Mollel Foundation that we really understood why the MOH needed our assistance there.

We believe every child has the right to breathe, live and thrive. Our mission is to enable access to oxygen to save lives and reduce inequalities in health.

Oxygen as a Service (O2aaS): The Heroes Behind Every Breath

This World Oxygen Day, FREO2 Foundation proudly honours our oxygen heroes; dedicated people who are critical at every stage of our Oxygen as a Service (O2aaS) journey. From the innovators behind the oxygen technology to the nurses administering oxygen therapy on the frontlines, these heroes work together to ensure a steady flow of life-saving oxygen.

Our work is made possible through the generous support of the Saving Lives at Birth partners: the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Government of Norway, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Grand Challenges Canada, the UK Government, and the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
