Promoting Hygiene and Learning: A community Initiative:
In a concerted effort to promote health and education, turnover activities were launched at different schools located in the Municipality of Maragusan, Davao de Oro, Philippines to turnover Handwashing Facilities and distribute Hygiene Kits, Soaps, Hygiene Kits, and Learners’ Kits. The initiative aims to improve hygiene practices, prevent the spread of diseases, and enhance educational opportunities of young learners.
Importance of Handwashing:
Handwashing is a simple yet effective way of preventing the transmission of germs and diseases. By providing Handwashing facilities and Hand Soaps, the initiative is empowering students and teachers to take control of their health. These facilities were strategically placed to ensure easy access and encourage regular handwashing practice.
Soaps, Hygiene Kits and Learner’s Kits:
In addition to handwashing facilities, we also distributed Soaps, hygiene kits and learner’s kits. The soaps are going to be used by students and teachers whenever they use the hand washing facilities. The hygiene kits contain essential items providing individuals with the necessary tools for maintaining good personal hygiene and the learner’s kits include educational materials necessary in supporting students in their academic pursuits.
Impact on schools:
This turnover initiative has the potential to significantly impact the health and well-being of the school communities as well as the learning practices of students and teachers of the partner schools. These facilities and kits can reduce the incidences of diseases particularly among children who are more susceptible to infections. Moreover, by providing learners’kits, we are investing in the future of young people by supporting their education and development.
Community Engagement:
This turnover initiative relied on the active support and participation of DCO MPC (Dole Community Multi-Purpose Cooperative), Kasilak Development Foundation Inc, Dole Korea, Dole Stanfilco, and Maragusan LGU. By working together, we can create a healthier and more educated community for all.
A Step Towards a Brighter Future:
The initiative of handing out Handwashing facilities, Soaps, Hygiene Kits and Learner’s kits is a tangible step towards a brighter future of the community. By promoting better hygiene and education, we are empowering communities to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
