We promote health and hygiene practices in our education programs.
We built a basic health care clinic and we include WASH facilites in the schools we build.
We improve the health conditions of thousands of people by providing access to health services and increasing hygiene and health awareness.
- We provide access to health services:
- In 2011 we built a clinic that is positively impacting women’s and infants’ health, it is increasing vaccination coverage and provides basic health care to a population of >20’000.
- We increase health awareness and improve hygiene practices:
- by providing toilets and clean water in each of the school we build; and by raising awareness of schoolchildren through prevention messages;
- by training thousands of preschool children on basic hygiene measures and informing their parents about health, hygiene and nutrition;
- by promoting gardening initiatives to enhance the nutritional status of the entire family.
- raising awareness and training pre-school teachers in first aid and good hygiene practices.
