On September 14, 2025, SCIDA successfully conducted a day-long capacity-building training for Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) in partnership with the Nimba County Health Team (NCHT). This milestone marks a key step in the rollout of SCIDA’s Child Health Campaign (CHC), a community-driven initiative focused on improving the health and well-being of children under five across Liberia.

• The training equipped CHVs with practical knowledge and tools to address child health challenges, including:
• Nutritional screening techniques and tools
• Identification and response to common child health issues

Community mobilization strategies to increase awareness and participation

The CHC program is designed to deliver critical health interventions, namely Vitamin A supplementation and deworming tablets, to children under five, while fostering long-term community engagement around child health.

Pilot Phase and Expansion Plans

The pilot phase of the campaign is currently targeting 3,000 children in the Meinpea-Mahn, Bain-Garr, and Sanniquellie districts. Building on this foundation, SCIDA aims to scale the initiative to reach an additional 30,000 children across Nimba County, ensuring broader access to life-saving health services.

Powered by Strategic Collaboration

This initiative is made possible through a dynamic partnership with Dimagi, a global social enterprise renowned for its digital solutions that support frontline workers in underserved communities. Dimagi’s expertise in scalable technology and field-based implementation is helping CHVs collect data, monitor progress, and deliver services more effectively.

A Vision for Health Equity

SCIDA’s Child Health Campaign reflects our commitment to inclusive, locally led development. By investing in community health volunteers and leveraging strategic partnerships, we are building a resilient foundation for child health—one village, one child at a time.
