Hygiene clubs were launched by the National Department of Education (NDoE) in NCD schools as a proactive response to the coronavirus or Covid-19 pandemic. The key objectives of establishing a hygiene club is to offer school children opportunities to raise their awareness about healthy behaviours and develop skills related to use of water, hygiene, and sanitation behaviours through creative, fun, and practical activities. The hygiene club can support them to become agents of change in health, including hygiene and sanitation, in their families and communities.

The 16th of September marks another milestone in our history as we set foot to another commemoration and reminding us that we as a great nation with cultural diversity had achieved our independence. We may think that freedom and independence are small things with no value but in reality, a lot of lives were given just to acquire on what we call “Independence”.
