Karachi
\nSHINE Humanity, under its Healthy Schools Initiative, conducted a three-day training of teachers, bringing together 20 government school teachers from Government Boys Primary Cluster School and Government Girls Cluster School, Gharo. The training included 9 females and 11 male participants.
\nThe initiative is designed to promote healthier futures by equipping students in rural communities with essential knowledge about hygiene, nutrition, disease prevention, and overall wellbeing. Currently being implemented as a pilot project in District Thatta, the initiative has plans to expand to other areas of Sindh.
\nThe program delivers age-appropriate health education to primary and secondary students while also engaging teachers, parents, and school management committees.
\nThrough a three-day training programme, teachers strengthened their knowledge of WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), disease prevention, first aid, nutrition, menstrual health management, mental wellbeing, child protection, life skills, substance abuse prevention, Health Clubs, community engagement, and school action planning.
\nEquipped with these tools, they can help young people adopt healthier habits that extend beyond the classroom and into their homes.
\n\u201cHealth is not only about treating illness; it is also about prevention, awareness and empowering communities to make healthier choices,\u201d Faheem Khan, CEO, SHINE Humanity. \u201cSeeing the enthusiasm of these teachers over the past three days has been truly encouraging.
\nWhen we invest in teachers, we invest in every child who walks into their classroom. Together, we can help build safer, healthier and more supportive schools for every child.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
