Teach health and hygiene to children, youths, parents and community in general
Our Health Program program uses community education as a core component of our approach to empower the community to improve their own community’s health, environment and living standards.
The health educators will teach children, youths, parents and the community about good health best practices in different aspects such as personal hygiene, sanitation, eye care, family planning, obstetric fistula, HIV/AIDS, malaria prevention, adhering to medication, dental hygiene, menstrual hygiene, nutrition, breast feeding, baby care and other health aspects.
