We used our cartoon illustration “Zaliya the Clean Genie” a story on hand hygiene best practices to reach over 1000 pupils in 3 public elementary schools in the outskirts of Abuja, Nigeria…we believe that hand hygiene behaviors taught at tender ages lingers and become a way of life.
We adopted the use of an easy-to-read, understandable, with graphic illustration of Information, Education & Communication Materials for awareness creation on hand hygiene and toilet hygiene and we had a wider coverage of young pupils of elementary school age in Abuja.
