Healthy Children Learn More

Every year, millions of children miss school because of easily treatable and preventable diseases. This results in missed learning opportunities, poor school attendance, and in the worst case, a premature discontinuation of studies.  The School Health and Nutrition Program works closely with schools and communities to lead health interventions, with the aim of enabling children to attend school without disruptions, and ultimately, help them become healthier and more productive adults.

The program conducts practical interventions to help children’s schooling, such as deworming, eye screenings, and malaria tests. They also work to ensure safe water access and hygiene facilities for students, with a commitment to attend to the special needs of school-aged girls. Beyond these interventions, the program helps children develop life-long health habits, while also advocating for health-related changes on a policy level.
