During the outreach program at Chongi and Muungano Secondary Schools, a student receives practical training from our volunteer on proper handwashing and sanitation practices.The initiative aimed to encourage healthy habits, prevent disease, and empower students with lifelong hygiene practices. This activity was part of a larger effort that reached 810 students with health education, sanitary pad distribution, HPV awareness, and empowerment sessions in Moshi District, Kilimanjaro.

This gathering brought together secondary school students to learn about important health topics, including menstrual hygiene management, proper sanitation practices, and awareness of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The session aimed to break stigma, empower young people with knowledge, and encourage open discussions that promote healthier lifestyles and preventive care. By engaging students at an early age, such programs help build confidence, protect future health, and strengthen overall community well-being.
