Healthy Kids/Brighter Future
Why we invest
The health needs of school age children are still largely unmet across Africa. Healthy Kids/Brighter Future tries to meet that need by turning school teachers into front-line health workers for low income kids. Preventable and treatable illnesses not only cause misery, they also have a direct effect on school attendance and mental development. Healthy Kids/Brighter Future has a simple and effective solution with the potential to scale up via the Ministry of Education.
