Dr. Esther Onyoni PharmD

 Director

Welcome to The Women's Health Education Center (WHEC).

My name is Esther Onyoni. I was born and grew up in Kisii, Kenya. After high school in 1997, I came to the United States and went on to college at University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  

I got my undergraduate degree in Chemistry in 2002. I then joined the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I’m currently a 4^th year Pharmacy student. At Chapel Hill, I was a member and the webmaster in the Student National pharmaceutical Association and a member of CAPS.

Once introduced to the Pharmacists for Africa organization, I knew I had found the organization that I truly belong in. I am the representative of the women’s health education center in the Tafarki Foundation Health Resource Center. I am also the representative of the East African region which I’m glad to serve.

Women are increasingly becoming the back bone for the development of a healthy African continent. Yet No continent has shown a lack of attention to the devastating effects of a poor women health education system  like Africa. A combination of factors such as a low level of education on basic hygiene practices have led to a low level of awareness on the devastating effects of disease states.

At the Women Health Education Center, African Pharmacist, friends of Africans and friends of Africa are coming together to bring awareness to a population that is threatened.
