Health and education across Nigeria
Healthier children, stronger schools, communities that plan ahead.
StarHive Initiative works alongside families, schools and health workers across Nigeria to improve access to primary health care and quality education, and to put better information in the hands of the people making decisions.
We work alongside families, schools and health workers to keep children healthy and learning.
Health and learning are tied together. A child who is sick misses school; a community that understands prevention stays healthier. StarHive Initiative works on both at once.
We partner with local health workers, teachers and community leaders to deliver programs that fit local realities, and we measure what we do so every season's work is better informed than the last.
Where we focus
Health. Prevention, awareness and access to primary care for families.
Education. Support for schools, learners and teachers so children stay in class.
Evidence. Data and forecasts that help communities act before problems peak.
Our programs
Health and learning, delivered together
Our programs sit where a family's health and a child's education meet, so every visit, lesson and campaign does double duty.

Community sessions, net-use education and early-care messaging ahead of peak transmission seasons.

How we work
Close to communities, guided by evidence
Every program follows the same rhythm: listen to the people it serves, act where it matters, and measure what changes.
- 01
Listen first
Programs start with community leaders, health workers and teachers, not assumptions.
- 02
Act on the ground
Local teams deliver outreach, school support and health education where it is needed.
- 03
Measure and share
We track outcomes and share what we learn so decisions are grounded in evidence.
