Healthy Learners is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the health of low-income, school-aged children. 

Heathy Leaners has developed a deceptively simple solution: moving the healthcare entry point to where children already are – their schools – by training and equipping the people children already trust and are with nearly every day – their teachers. Beginning in 2015, we have worked with the Zambian Government to scale our school health model to serve more than 425,000 children across the country.
