Zambia's Community Health Workers

Today, World Vision supports an estimated 48,500 community health workers in Zambia: 3,500 in WV ADPs and 45,000 through STEPS-OVC. In Zambia, World Vision works in partnership with the Ministry of Health to directly implement CHW programming. CHWs supported by World Vision Zambia are trained to provide the most essential life-saving interventions such as emergency front line care; and can save children's lives from many if not most of the major preventable child mortality causes like diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria.
