Train a Teacher. Protect a Generation.
Malaria prevention starts with education. Help us train local teachers and bring life-saving knowledge to schools and families in Uganda.
Malaria Is Preventable. Knowledge Saves Lives.
Malaria remains one of the most serious public health challenges in Africa. Children are particularly vulnerable, and repeated malaria infections can disrupt their education and well-being.
Yet malaria is preventable and treatable.
By teaching children how malaria spreads, how to prevent mosquito bites, and when to seek medical attention, we can help families make informed decisions that protect their health.
Knowledge is the first step towards prevention.
Our Solution: Teach the Teacher
Practical Teach the Teacher workshops organised by HWF and its partners in Africa.
What if one trained teacher could help hundreds of children learn how to prevent malaria?
And what if those children shared their knowledge with their parents, siblings and neighbours?
This is the principle behind our malaria education programme.
Rather than relying on short-term awareness campaigns, we invest in the people who educate children every day.
Through our Teach the Teacher approach, local schoolteachers learn both the principles of malaria prevention and how to communicate them in an engaging, understandable and age-appropriate way.
Once trained, these teachers can continue delivering malaria education to successive groups of pupils.
One teacher. Many classrooms. Lasting knowledge.
How Our Programme Works
Train Local Teachers
We organise practical Teach the Teacher workshops for groups of up to 20 participants. Teachers learn about malaria prevention and develop interactive teaching skills to communicate health messages effectively.
Provide Educational Materials
Each teacher receives a specially developed malaria prevention teaching package, with practical classroom activities and age-appropriate learning materials that can be used repeatedly.
Reach Children and Families
Trained teachers bring malaria prevention education into their classrooms. Children learn how to protect themselves and share essential health knowledge with their families and communities.
Help Us Bring Malaria Education to Uganda
We are launching our first school-based malaria prevention education programme in Uganda. Our goal is to raise €50,000 to support local teacher-training workshops, provide specially developed educational materials, and establish a sustainable approach that can be expanded to more schools and communities.
By investing in teachers, we invest in knowledge that can be shared year after year.
FUNDRAISING GOAL
€50,000
€50 — One teaching package
Provides one malaria prevention teaching package for classroom education.
€500 — Ten teaching packages
Supports ten teachers with ready-to-use malaria prevention materials.
€250 — Five teaching packages
Equips five teachers with educational materials.
€7,300 — One Teach the Teacher workshop
Funds a practical training programme for up to 20 local teachers.
Our Commitment to Sustainable Impact
Our ambition goes beyond organising individual training workshops. We want malaria prevention education to become a lasting part of school activities.
By training local teachers and providing reusable educational materials, we aim to create a sustainable model that continues benefiting children and communities long after the initial training has ended.
We will monitor the programme's implementation and evaluate its educational impact to improve future activities and support expansion to other malaria-affected communities.
Teachers Trained
Tracking the number of teachers completing the training and demonstrating the required knowledge and teaching skills.
Children Reached
Recording the number of pupils participating in malaria prevention lessons.
Schools Participating
Monitoring how many schools introduce malaria prevention education through trained teachers.
Knowledge Improvement
Using simple pre- and post-training assessments to evaluate improvements in malaria prevention knowledge.
Our goal is not simply to deliver training, but to build local educational capacity that continues making a difference year after year.
Become a Partner in Malaria Prevention
The Health Workforce Foundation welcomes partnerships with organisations and individuals who believe in the power of education to improve health.
Through our malaria prevention programme in Uganda, partners can help us train local teachers, provide educational resources and bring essential health knowledge to schools and communities.
Businesses, foundations, educational institutions and other organisations can support the programme through financial contributions, sponsorship of teacher-training workshops or practical collaboration.
A contribution of €7,300 can sponsor a complete Teach the Teacher workshop for up to 20 teachers.
By working together, we can build a sustainable approach to malaria prevention education that continues delivering benefits long after the initial project has ended.
Help Us Turn Knowledge into Prevention
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy and attend school without the threat of preventable disease.
By supporting the Health Workforce Foundation's malaria education programme, you help equip local teachers with the knowledge, teaching skills and educational materials they need to make a lasting difference.
Our goal: €50,000 to launch the programme in Uganda.
Together, we can bring malaria prevention education to more classrooms, more children and more families.
