What it reported doing in 2024

Healthed connect empowers women and children through evidence-based health, education, and advocacy programs. We accomplish this mission by training and partnering with community health volunteers (chv) in democratic republic of congo, zambia, malawi, and nepal to identify and address issues of basic health and education from the grass roots level. These women (and several men) are the heroes with the desire to improve the health and wellbeing of their communities. In 2024 healthed connect supported health and education initiatives in 60 communities through the efforts of 175 chv. During the year, 147,548 children under age five were weighed and monitored to ensure growth and development; 3,473 healthy babies were delivered; 26,034 children were immunized; 133,120 mothers were taught about health, nutrition, sanitation, and family planning; and 12,060 home care visits were made. Collectively, chv provided 51,272 volunteer hours of care in their communities. In our three community school partner programs in zambia, 1,580 orphans and vulnerable children were enrolled, receiving quality primary education, and 248,549 hot lunches were provided to students. 5,698 books were checked out from the school libraries. 126 high school scholarships were awarded (105 of which were allocated to girls to ensure equal opportunity to attend secondary school). In addition, nine scholarships were awarded for nursing diploma programs. Chv are advocates for the health and education 0f women and children in their communities. Healthed connect advocates for educating the next generation of world changers, the caregivres who raise them, and the chv who support both groups toward empowerment.
