Save the Children, in partnership with private donors, is pleased to announce the 2015 quarterly report on “Healthy Habits for Kids”. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide children in Bolivia a chance to develop healthy habits for a better future.
A total of 254 children in health and nutrition clubs were trained to strengthen their leadership capacities and their knowledge in health and nutrition. This enabled them to support the massive activities that their schools organized such as the cleanliness traffic light, the Cultural Hour, handwashing campaigns, health recesses, and health fairs.
Since the beginning of the project, 32 health clubs have been set up in support of the promotional activities carried out by the health and nutrition commissions.
To date, 100 teachers have been trained. The trained teachers of the health commissions organized activities to disseminate what they learned in their schools using different strategies such as providing training to the children from the health clubs, disseminating information during cultural activity hours, and supporting the reinforcement of activities by child leaders from health clubs. We also provided 299 classrooms with 8,216 children access to safe water through filter systems.
