Dear All,
The team at Children for Health is looking to find a small team to
contribute their expertise towards a project creating health messages for
Understanding and Preventing Anaemia for Children to Learn and Share.
Children for Health is dedicated to the promotion of health education in
developing countries, focused on developing children as agents of change
and communicators of essential health messages in their families and
communities.
Our health messages are simple, reliable, health education messages aimed
at children aged 8-14. Currently, our collection covers 10 health topics,
as a result of our wide success promoting these messages – we are expanding
this project and would like to create new messages for health topics not
yet covered.
We have drafted 10 messages aimed to help children understand what anaemia
is and how to prevent it in their families and communities.
We are seeking experts to help finalise these messages and ensure they are
clinically accurate and appropriate for our target age group.
We believe that providing health information to these children in a
relevant, fun, and compelling way delivers immediate and lasting benefits
in disease prevention and treatment in their communities.
Please contact our team if you are interested in collaborating on this
project.
Visit our website for more information about our organisation, existing
health messages, and free resources. https://www.childrenforhealth.org/
Thanks!
Clare
