More than 1,800 students benefited from school health campaign

From October 14 to 25, 1,867 pre-primary and primary school students in 24 educational centers are participating in a personal hygiene and oral health campaign. Activities include talks on handwashing and toothwashing, given by 140 child facilitators trained by the Agrolíbano Foundation through the Juntos por la Educación program. Each student receives a toothbrush and toothpaste, in addition to fluoride rinses with dental personnel. This initiative is part of the project “Improving conditions for inclusion, retention and learning in rural schools,” co-financed by the British company Tesco and supported by local oral health personnel. It contributes to SDGs 3, 4 and 17.
