The Health Shield: Protect a Student for 365 Days
SDG 3 · Good Health & Well-Being
It was not the lesson
that stopped him.
It was the fever.
Hassan was one of the strongest students in his class. Then malaria struck and his family could not afford the clinic fee. Three weeks at home. Enough lessons missed to fall behind. Enough to change everything. A mosquito bite had done what poverty, distance, and hardship had not managed to do.
“A child who is sick cannot learn. A family who cannot afford the clinic cannot send a sick child to school. The Health Shield breaks this cycle at the source.” CODEWA Health Programme, Tabora
| ❌ Medical Crisis | Without insurance, a single illness becomes a dropout. Clinic fees cost more than a week’s income. |
| ✅ Toto Afya Card | 365 days of doctor visits, consultations, and prescriptions fully covered for €25. |
| ❌ Stigma & Poverty | Girls miss up to 60 school days a year because they cannot afford sanitary supplies. |
| ✅ MHM Kits | Reusable pads, soap, and a washbag so no girl loses 60 days of school to a biological cycle. |
