In Mphande, Zambia, where Tevel’s model project is centered, limited access to health centers for diagnostics and treatment has left the community vulnerable to recurrent malaria outbreaks. Villagers experience between 1 and 4 malaria episodes each year, undermining household health, driving substantial absenteeism from work and school, and imposing heavy economic costs through lost productivity.
In response to this urgent need, Tevel has initiated an antimalarial campaign by training Community Health Volunteers who conduct malaria tests and distribute life-saving medications, ensuring that village residents have access to essential treatments.
