Dear All,
Our organisation, Children for Health, is developing three posters over the next three months - one on WASH, one on Intestinal Worms and one on Coughs, Colds and Pneumonia. All the posters will feature:
• 10 key messages for children aged 10-14 to learn and share
• Frequently asked questions about the use of the posters
• Further Information on the topic of educators; and
• A basket of ideas on, What Children Can Do.
We are co-creating these posters with a Kenyan based NGO, Stowelink who specialise in mobile health and NCD;s.
In addition we would like to involve members of the HIFA and CHIFA forum to help review the messages and artwork and other content. There are usually 2-3 rounds in each review.
We send reviewers the review documents with the tasks clearly set out.
Please can you let me know if you are interested in helping with this endeavour and which topic you can help with.
It would be good to have a few sentences about you and your expertise when you contact us.
For further information about Children for Health please take a look at our website www.childrenforhealth.org where you can also find all the other posters, storybooks and other materials that we have developed with the help of HIFA andCHIFA members over the years. Topics have included HIV and AIDS and Type 2 Diabetes.
On average our materials are downloaded 4,000-5,000 times every month in 55+ countries.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes
