Provide hygiene education to village in India

As the new school year is well under way in India, hundreds of parents and children in Vadodara have been learning together about the importance of water-health & hygiene through attending activity-based, hands-on workshops covering everything from germs and how they spread, to bathing, tooth brushing, clean water collection and storage, as well as water conservation. After each Workshop, the parents and children continue learning through a fun-filled community viewing of our DVD, which was created by Sesame Workshop in support of our program, followed by more games and activities. Don’t take it from me – take a look at what the children and their caregivers had to say:

“We liked all the activities in the five days. We got to know a lot about cleanliness. My grandma also liked it. We hope this program happens again and again.”
– Student, Grade 6

 “If each one follows the practices learned in these workshops then no one will fall sick and we can have a healthy India”
- Student, Grade 4

 “This is my first time to attend a health and hygiene workshop. I am glad that I was able to share this experience with my son.”
- Mother of Grade 3 Student

 “I learned from this workshop how to clean my body. I also found out that I have to save water because it is a limited resource.”
- Mother of Pre-school Student

 While we are off to a good start in making an impact through education in India, we would like to expand our efforts through hygiene education in more communities across India - with your help this is possible! Join us -please help spread the word on how children and their parents can learn and create new, healthy habits together – creating hope for a healthier future!
