Our
School Health Program
In the training of children, we use a 3-month curriculum that we created, which involves the children in learning and is adapted for different ages.
There are a total of 20 different lessons given to each class.
A Unique Curriculum
To teach every child in each class, sessions are done every day, for 15 minutes each class. This curriculum has been approved by the Massinga Department of Education, and is then given to the teachers to continue with the training.
A separate CLTS program is conducted with the school children so that they feel safer and more comfortable to talk about their open defecation habits without their parents around.
