Teaching Nursery School Children Proper Handwashing Techniques

Early childhood education is crucial in laying the foundation for a child’s academic and personal development. One of the key aspects of early childhood education is teaching children essential life skills, such as proper handwashing techniques. 

Recently, the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team distributed soap, buckets, and towels to the Kamawornie nursery school classrooms, emphasizing the importance of hygiene. In this video, teachers showed the students how to wash their hands effectively, ensuring that these young learners understand the importance of cleanliness.

 
Teaching proper handwashing is not just about maintaining hygiene; it’s a vital step in safeguarding the health and well-being of these children. Preventing the spread of illness through simple practices like handwashing can have a profound impact. By instilling these habits at an early age, we are helping to improve these students' overall quality of life. 

A healthier student body leads to better attendance, more active class participation, and ultimately, a more effective learning environment. Through your generosity and support, these children are receiving an education and equipped with the knowledge and tools to lead healthier lives.

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
