One Good Turn

It’s National Public Health Week, and we’re celebrating the collective effort it takes for 1 student to receive essential health education and care.

In our school health program, change begins with one community member, who trains a teacher, who can then care for dozens of students. That knowledge spreads to peers, parents, and beyond. That’s the power of community-led health solutions.

This week, we honor every teacher, student, and family member doing their part to uplift the health of those around them.

We’re often asked, “Why schools, not clinics?”

When you look at Kenya’s demographic data, the answer is clear.

1 out of every 3 Kenyans is school-aged — 5 to 19 years old.

At the same time, healthcare facilities are under immense strain, with only a small percentage able to meet basic needs. Schools, on the other hand, outnumber clinics 8 to 1 and are available in even the most remote communities.

School Health Programs are of the most effective ways to reach a young population, improve health conditions, and break generational cycles of poor health.

Today’s the day! help us reach our goal to raise $25,000 in 24 hours and bring life-saving health education and care to 60,000 students in 2026
