HIGHER HEALTH is a national agency that seeks to inspire success of two million students that attend 26 universities and 50 TVET colleges by improving their health and wellbeing. We seek to reduce the effect of health-related conditions that often challenge students in tertiary studies and which, if left unaddressed, can lead to students delaying the completion and even abandoning their studies.
HIGHER HEALTH’s main focus areas are: HIV, STIs, TB, unplanned pregnancy, gender-based violence (GBV), mental illness and substance abuse.

We promote the human rights of LGBTI students and people with disabilities, and support initiatives that respect
their particular needs. HIGHER HEALTH works to provide accessible, quality health and social care – including associated psychosocial services – in order to reduce the impact of these conditions on affected students
