This study explored the role of furniture production in enhancing households’ health services affordability among small-scale furniture producers in Mafinga Town Council. Structured questionnaires, key informant interviews, and documentary reviews were used to collect data. Statistical Product for Social Solutions (SPSS) Version 27 was used to analyze quantitative data while content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The findings indicate that engagement in furniture production led to increased ability of individuals to afford healthcare services. To further enhance productivity in the furniture sector, the implementation of affordable insurance plans and community health programs can provide essential services to the community. The process of improving the furniture sector will not only contribute to income growth but also promote the overall well-being of households engaged in furniture production.
