Hi friends,

Out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), goal 3 talks about good health and well being. And this is only attainable when we start doing the small things right, like washing our hands thoroughly after visiting the wash room or doing any other activity that requires us to wash our hands. Good health can only be guarantee if we obey this simple but powerful rule in our homes, schools and workplaces. This goal can become feasible if we inculcate the habit of hand washing into the younger generation, so, it is the duty of you and I to make sure this goal become attainable.

We visited a primary school in Sandema to educate the pupils on hand washing using a simple made device called "tippy tap". It is made with a gallon and some woods and strings, and is so easy to use.

from the picture above, a pupil is being guided to demonstrate how to wash her hands properly using soap and water flowing from the tippy tap gallon. She is by the way the girl's prefect for the school and she is so adorable.

Kalijisa no.2 community is one of the less privilege communities in Sandema, they lack access to a proper basic health care since they do not have a clinic, and also, there is no electricity in the community. This is the more reason why it is imperative they practise good hygiene, and this starts off with hand washing.

To encourage them to continue with this habit of hand washing, we gave the school one gallon of liquid soap and some napkins, it was really great to spend time with the pupils teaching them the importance of hand washing and staying clean. As they always say, cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Conclusion

Health is wealth, this is really true, SDGs number 3 can be achieve via our effort and discipline. To be able to enjoy the successes we make even on this platform, we need good health, let's all play our parts in achieving this goal.

Thanks for passing by. Shalom.
