Gold Health Initiative Offers 200 Children Means Necessary To Fight Off Diseases
Gold Health Initiative, a non-profit organisation with a vision to end the spread of infectious diseases and maintenance of good hygiene has launched a Hygiene project targeting 200 children with the mission of empowering them with knowledge on ways to tackle the spread of diseases.
With the right knowledge targeted at the children, the organisation sees the long-term impact on their family members.
Gold Health Initiative has three main ways to tackle the spread of diseases as highlighted which are:
- Enlightenment- Educating the children on the importance of good hygiene and sanitation practice.
- Providing infrastructure – Building hand wash stations and toilets where there is a need.
- Providing materials- providing recipients with hygiene and sanitation items.
In the year 2019 and 2020, several school children in the North Central Zone of Nigeria were taken through the three disease curtailment components which include:
- Hygiene clubs introduced in schools, where the children started to learn on hand hygiene and proper hygiene techniques. The children were also provided with antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers for their classrooms.
- Hand wash stations were built in schools and the children taught and encouraged on habits and benefits of handwashing.
- Hygiene kits provision for children. The kits contained hand sanitizer, soaps, masks, face shield and comic book.
