The return to school should be a time of learning and new beginnings, but preventable illness can quickly disrupt a child’s education. In Cameroon, children may return from the long school break with health concerns that have gone unnoticed, while malaria, diarrheal illnesses, poor hygiene, and other preventable conditions can lead to missed school days and more serious complications.
Healthy Back to School — Rentrée Scolaire Sans Maladie — is our annual preventive health campaign designed to help children return to school healthier. Through medical consultations, health screenings when indicated, vaccination checks, and practical health education, we help identify concerns early while giving children and families tools to protect their health.
Prevention goes beyond a medical consultation. Children will participate in practical, age-appropriate activities on handwashing, oral hygiene, malaria prevention, and other everyday habits that can reduce illness. Each child will also receive essential health resources to help put what they learn into practice at home.
By combining healthcare with education, we want children to leave not only with a better understanding of their health, but also with simple habits they can carry into the school year and beyond
On August 29 & 30, we aim to reach children in Cameroon with preventive care, practical health education, and essential health resources before the new school year begins. Children with health concerns requiring additional care will also be guided toward appropriate follow-up.
Your contribution will help provide consultations, screenings, educational activities, health kits, and other resources needed to make this campaign possible. Every gift helps give a child a healthier start to the school year and a better opportunity to learn and thrive.
