Animals are dying in a village.

Children are falling sick from the same contaminated water.

The veterinary worker documents one.

The nurse documents the other.

They have never met.

The connection is invisible to the system.

Both workers can see it.

75% of new infectious diseases in humans originate in animals.

Climate change is pushing disease vectors into regions that have never seen them.

But the systems built to respond still operate in separate silos.

We just launched a new primer: One Health: Connecting people, animals, and the environment.

It is free, text-based, and works on any phone.

You read short texts about why systems stay disconnected.

Then you examine your own setting and exchange with a peer in another country.

After completing our climate and health course, a health worker in Nepal wrote: "This transformed me from an implementer into a change agent."

Do not enroll alone.

Think of one colleague who faces similar challenges and invite them.

The course works best when you take it together.

Join The Geneva Learning Foundation for our Tenth Anniversary

Ten years ago, we asked a question most global health organizations avoid.

What happens when you trust frontline health workers to lead?

Not as recipients of training flown in from headquarters.

As authors of the solutions their communities need.

Today, 80,000 health and humanitarian workers from over 100 countries have answered that question.

They completed courses by midnight deadlines.

They supported peers they had never met in person.

They submitted action plans, revised them, and put them to work.

They did not wait for the next expert to arrive.

The Geneva Learning Foundation turns ten this year.

But this network was not built by a Swiss non-profit.

It was built by the health and humanitarian workers who chose to learn differently.

Every course, every peer exchange, every locally led action plan is evidence of one thing.

The people closest to the problem are the ones who solve it.

Our second decade starts now, with more courses, deeper pathways, and a commitment to go further.

Ahead of World Malaria Day, join health and humanitarian workers driven to end malaria. Now we can. Now we must. Register now for the live event on 23 April 2026: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_V2zemD1tSIO3zW0R9Ptqhg

"My family does not go more than two weeks without someone being struck down by malaria."

That is a physician in Kinshasa.

She is the person her community relies on to end this disease.

Since December 2024, we have been listening to experiences like hers from health workers in over 70 countries – and sharing them back with the community.

They sometimes see change before global surveillance does.

Malaria appearing in places that were previously malaria-free.

Climate change redrawing the map of transmission faster than programmes can adapt.

But they also describe what they are doing about it.

Community health workers mobilizing 2,000 households across 550 villages with no external funding.

A nurse in Zambia noticing that peak season is no longer a peak. It is now year-round.

A physician in Côte d'Ivoire cutting cases in his district through bed net distribution and routine integration.

On 23 April, World Malaria Day, we are releasing the first insights rapport by and for people who fight malaria in their communities.

This report was developed in collaboration with RBM Partnership to End Malaria.

And because The Geneva Learning Foundation turns ten this year, we will share what is coming next.

New courses, new programmes, and new ways to join.

This will be the first of a monthly livestream where we hear directly from the community, share what we are learning, and announce what is ahead.

Join us live on 23 April.
You work to keep measles at bay in your community, building on years of careful work.

The new WHO AFRO report confirms what you already know.

Nearly 20 million measles deaths have been averted in Africa since 2000.

But second-dose coverage is still only 55 percent across the Region.

Measles needs about 95 percent coverage in every community to stop transmission.

When coverage slips in your district, measles is the first disease to come back.

You have seen this. You have responded to it. You have stayed up at night worrying about it.

At Teach to Reach, colleagues from over 60 countries shared exactly how they responded to measles outbreaks.

How they found the first cases.

How they managed vaccine supplies.

How they brought refusal families back.

One nurse in Pakistan turned the mother of a child who nearly died from measles into a community mobilizer.

One doctor in Madagascar said no one speaks more powerfully about measles than families who have lived through it.

We built a peer learning course around these experiences, so you can learn from colleagues who face what you face.

Over about six hours, at your own pace, you study real cases and apply them to your own district.

You reflect, you share, you exchange feedback with colleagues who understand the work.

You leave with practical ideas for surveillance, community engagement, and second-dose coverage.

If you are a health worker holding measles back in your community, this course is for you.

Do you face a challenge at work that will not go away?

What if someone, somewhere, has already solved it?

What if you could find that person, ask them how they did it, and try it in your own context next week?

This is what The Geneva Learning Foundation offers.

Join us for a live online session to help you find what will help you most:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86517960688

Not lectures.

Not textbooks.

Courses where you learn by doing, alongside colleagues from all over the world.

You bring a real challenge from your work.

You think it through with peers in dozens of countries.

You leave with something you can use: a plan, a referral pathway, a thirty-day action, a new way of talking to the community.

Here is a colleague who has done it, a consultant working across multiple countries in global health:
"The single most transformative thing this gave me is a conviction I carry into every field assignment. No challenge is too large to be solved. Someone, somewhere, has already faced it. The question is whether I am humble enough to look, listen, and learn from them."

Our courses are open access.

Register now.

Bring the challenge you are stuck on.

We will show you which course is best for you, how to join, and how to get through it without it becoming another thing on your list.

You will also meet people already doing it.

Alumni who have succeeded.

TGLF Ambassadors who are selfless community leaders.

Newcomers starting this month.

That mix is the network you will be working inside.

The Geneva Learning Foundation is pleased to announce the new peer learning course:
Newborn care foundations: practical actions for newborn survival
https://go.learning.foundation/tglf/c/32031

Simple actions, done correctly, can save newborn baby lives.

The fetal monitor has no battery.

The oxytocin ampoule is the last one in the cabinet.

The nearest hospital is two hours away on a broken road.

In that moment, the textbook will not save the mother or her baby.

The hands of the health worker in the room will.

A health worker who can feel whether a uterus has contracted will detect hemorrhage faster than one waiting for a monitor.

A nurse who recognizes the WHO danger signs of possible serious bacterial infection in a young infant can act before sepsis becomes fatal.

A midwife who places a small baby skin to skin against the mother can prevent a death.

This course is text based and open access.

There are no videos to download, no lectures, and no live sessions to attend.

You focus on what you can do now in your own facility, and share what works with colleagues in other countries.

It works on any phone, on any signal, at your own pace.

Enroll, and invite one colleague to join you, because the skills stay in your hands longer when you practice together.
