We are a non-profit organization that provides preventive health care and health education to improve physical and mental health for school-age children in South Kivu (Democratic Republic of Congo).
Our focus
We help children, families and communities to break the vicious circle of poor hygiene. We do this by training local school doctors and medical consultants. Our school medicine project consists of6 components.
Medical examinations
(main activity)
Coordinate and monitor the quality of medical examinations in 50 schools in and around Bukavu, in cooperation with local teams.
Hygiene education and disease prevention
Supporting the restricted health policy at school
Relational and Sexual Education in School
It takes an entire community to raise a child. Once this community is there, almost anything is achievable.
Training local teams
Training of local school doctors and nurses
Local integration
Integration of school medicine into local health policy and local government structures.
Expansion
Increasing our impact by reaching more schools in and around Bukavu as well as in other provinces of Congo.
