Goal & Opportunity
The Education Program focused on raising health awareness about malaria, tuberculosis, and other communicable diseases, as well as improving sanitation and hygiene habits to promote health in our environment. There is also a need to improve participants’ understanding of resource mobilization and utilization for community improvement.

Impact:
Prior to the program, the majority of community members did not understand the causes of malaria, did not have a voter’s card, and did not understand their roles as community members in terms of community ownership. The main success of the program was the immediate impact displayed by the participants from the analysis, which indicated improvement and knowledge gained after the program.
