Nigeria: School Health Initiative Expands Reach

press release

This week as the United Nations marked International Youth Day, the Wellbeing Foundation Africa (WBFA) took its pioneering Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) education programme to schoolchildren in Ogun State. The pilot, which took place over two days, educated 237 children at the Ogun State Summer Camp, before an anticipated roll-out across the state and throughout Nigeria.

WBFA's programme is based on its Adolescent Skills and Drills, Personal Social and Health Education Curriculum, the first locally-developed PSHE curriculum. Teaching is formed around three core pillars: Your Rights and Your Body; Health Relationships; and Planning Your Future.
