Children positioned to prevent Coronavirus and other Infections

Personal hygiene is basically how we care for our bodies. Hygiene practices include bathing, washing our hands, brushing our teeth, and more.

Every day, we come in contact with millions of germs and viruses. They can linger on the body, and most times, they may children sick. Personal hygiene practices can help you and the people around you prevent infections and illnesses like Lassa fever, Coronavirus, etc.

One purpose of our Children Sanitation and Hygiene (CHASE) Club is to teach children hygiene practices that will keep them from diseases and make them grow up into healthy adults. Members of the Club in Best Solution Nursery and Primary School, Akure had theory and practical sessions today.

Gladys Japhet and other CHASE coordinators; Tiwalade Adesuyi and Prince Eriapejuba (MOG), taught the pupils that personal hygiene is the best practice for prevention of COVID-19 and Lassa fever. Facts about Coronavirus and its symptoms was also dealt with during the session. MOG described the appropriate way of wearing face mask to help the children stay safe from the virus.

The second session taken by Gladys focused on how to properly wash their hands and a practical liquid soap making exercise. The soap produced will give not just the CHASE Club members access to regular hand-washing with soap and water, but also every pupil and teacher in the school will be able to practice regular hand washing that will reduce school absenteeism due to infections.

Empowering Young Minds: Breaking the Cycle of Child Labour

At Kidsnteensngo, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for children in Cocoa-growing communities to access quality education and break the cycle of child labour. Through our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees we are working to create a sustainable impact that will benefit these communities for years to come. Our holistic remediation approach focuses on: 1. Education: Providing essential school kits to children, enabling them to attend school regularly and pursue their passions because we believe that children should work on dreams and not in farms. 2. Economic Empowerment: Establishing Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to empower local economies and improve the livelihoods of farmers and parents. This will ensure that parents are able to sustain the education of their children thus allowing the children to learn instead of working to earn to support their parents. 3. Community Development: Engaging local businesses to provide school uniforms, injecting more resources into the community and promoting economic growth. 4. Livelihood support for Farmers: Provision of farm tools and Income Generating Activities (IGA) to boost income and ensure improvements in the standard of living Our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees is making a tangible difference in the lives of
