The gap no one
talks about.
Disease doesn’t hit everyone equally. It hunts farm workers first.
Occupational Healthcare prevents, detects, and treats conditions caused by work. It’s how we catch diseases that hit farm workers.
Africa’s 300 million farm workers feed the world while holding the line where 75% of pandemics start. They face pesticides, heat, dust, and pathogens daily—exposures that kill them, steal their children’s brains, and seed the next outbreak.
Concentra and WorkCare deliver occupational healthcare to farm workers in the U.S. and Europe. Africa’s frontline fights unarmed.
THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY HAPPENING
It starts with the children
Then it takes the parents
The detection gap
Standard clinics treat malaria and infections—not the conditions farming causes. No occupational healthcare. No screening. No early detection. No verification that protection is working.
These workers are already doing heroic work. They deserve their armor.

THE WINDOW IS CLOSING
The next outbreak looms. The lawsuits are coming. The question is whether Africa’s workforce and employers will be equipped when they arrive.
Legal
U.S. farm workers have received $16 billion in cancer settlements. In 2021, seven chocolate companies were sued for child labor.
Regulatory
EU directives now require companies to address health harms in their supply chains. Accountability is coming.
Climate
Heat exposures are escalating. Chronic kidney disease is spreading globally.
WHY SCHOOLS
WHY SCHOOLS
Schools see families regularly—children daily, parents monthly. Teachers notice when a sharp child becomes slow.
We train them to become Health Guides, to detect early signs of exposure harm, connect families to occupational healthcare protocols, and track treatment completion.
We’ve been doing this for a decade. Proven in 8 communities in Ghana. Now deploying Africa-wide.
THE EVIDENCE
What agricultural work does to unequipped families.
