Millennium Fellowship Project: Clean Hands, Bright Futures
Clean Hands, Bright Futures is a project aimed at creating behavioral change among primary school-going children in a bid to prevent outbreaks of diseases like cholera and diarrhoea. These diseases account for a large number of absenteeism cases in children, and therefore, my project specifically targets SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all. In my project, I visited schools in Pader district to talk about sanitation and hygiene and why they are important.
