How it works

Our model

• A candidate from a rural community is selected to train as a health worker.
• Spreading Health sponsors their training in the country.
• On qualification they return to their community to work.

The project

Our commitments

• Commitment from the community to propose a suitable candidate for training and to help with their travel and living expenses whilst at college. Subsequently to provide a simple clinic and to pay them to work there once they’ve qualified.
• Commitment from the candidate to study and achieve the qualification and return to their village to work for a period of time at least equivalent to the length of their sponsored training.
• Commitment from us to guarantee sponsorship for the duration of the course to fund SHUMAS to work with communities to make selection and to provide support/pastoral care during training, to administer Spreading Health grants and provide follow up to nurses post qualification.
