Millennium Fellowship Project: HEALTH and HYGIENE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

The project will educate children in schools about the importance of maintaining good health and Hygiene focused on teaching practical skills that students can adopt to stay healthy. It will base on participatory health talk sessions where students shall be engaged in hand washing, oro-dental care, menstrual hygiene and preventive measures of diseases especially Malaria, Cholera, Diarrhea, and cough. It will feature learning methods especially peer to peer discussions on mental health issues, health skits on adolescent sexual and reproductive health and also providing safer platforms that encourage students to ask questions and experience sharing. School and community cleanup events involving installation of dustbins, hand washing facilities and promotion of proper waste management culture among the students and the entire community shall be considered. And since such a project needs support and has to be sustained, we shall ensure collaboration and participation of parents and teachers since they spend more time with the students. According to pilot study, 7 in 10 girls reach menstruation period without menstrual knowledge; This project is to ensure that girls gain confidence by learning about menstrual hygiene and management. They will also learn personal hygiene and become ambassadors of health in their communities.
