Partnering for Health

By Devine Suiven | Project Leader

Activities of the Health Program have been focused mainly on the execution of the Healthy Hands Project introduced in 2014 and the GlomeMed internship visit by the two students of the Morgan state chapter.

Healthy Hands (Hand Washing Systems (HWS)

We were able to successfully donate Hand washing systems and barrels in 17 schools. This brought the number of schools in possession of the HWS to 40 by the end of the 2014-2015 academic year. We still have two schools which will receive hand-washing systems during the start of the 2015-2016 academic year. All these schools received educative talks on how to keep healthy hands and on the maintenance of the HWS for sustainability.

Some of the schools that had received the HWS were visited to confirm their effective usage. The results were satisfactory especially with the corroboration of some parents on the fact that they have observed a change in the sanitary practice of their children at home.

2015 GlobeMed Partnership

Knowledge for Children hosted two interns from the GlobeMed chapter, our partner at Morgan State University, which is located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.

The purpose of the internship is in a bid to strengthen the relationship between the chapter and Knowledge for children as well as follow up with the program in which they support us. The internship lasted for a month, during which the interns had the opportunity to witness the installation in two schools. The interns took the opportunity to interview the parents and also interact with the pupils by playing skill-building games. They saw first-hand the conditions of the roads we use to travel to each school and what methods we used to overcome those minor obstacles.

Appreciation:

Thank you all for your immense and continues support for the continuity of this project. We keep striving to be always result driven. Our communities speak well about us and listen to what we tell them. We are confident that we will do more with your support and that of our beneficiaries.
