In Manica Province, Mrs. Ana’s grandson Emanuel survives malaria and diarrhoea thanks to trained Polyvalent Health Agents supported by the Rotary Healthy Communities Challenge Project, bringing lifesaving care closer to rural families in Mozambique.

Before the project, access to healthcare in the Gaya area was extremely limited. Many isolated villages forced vulnerable families to walk for hours to reach health centers in Tounouga or Gaya, often arriving too late for proper treatment. The situation was worsened by seasonal floods in Dosso and Tillaberi, which cut off communities and left thousands without essential health services. According to Mrs. Edui Ramatou, Head of the Gaya 2 Health Center, common illnesses such as malaria, diarrhea, and respiratory infections were difficult to manage due to limited supplies and reliance on only two small health posts. In response, World Health Organization supported the project “Anticipatory health assistance for at-risk and flood-affected populations,” implemented by World Vision Niger and ISCV. Completed in May 2025, the project introduced mobile clinics that brought care directly to villages. Monthly consultations increased from 1,000 to 1,800, while trained community health workers improved case detection and follow-up. For mothers, children, the elderly, and pregnant women, access to timely care greatly improved. Although the project ended, its positive impact continues, and communities hope for sustained support to strengthen resilience against future floods.
