CARD TITLE
Bringing Practical Hygiene Education to Students Across Lagos Schools

CARD PREVIEW
A school-based health education programme built to reach 2,000 students, bringing practical hygiene lessons to students across three Lagos schools so far, with measured gains in knowledge.

CONTEXT
Clean Habits, Healthy Futures promotes everyday hygiene and healthy practices among adolescents aged 11 to 14 through school-based health education.

CHALLENGE
The programme needed to translate public health guidance into engaging, age-appropriate lessons while coordinating school participation, learning materials and assessments.

APPROACH
We coordinated programme planning, school engagement, communications and delivery across three Lagos schools. Sessions covered six everyday hygiene habits through presentations, practical and video demonstrations, menstrual health education, questionnaires and take-home materials.

RESULTS (OCTOBER 2026)

• Programme target: 2,000 students.
• Reached to date: students across three Lagos schools, with sessions continuing.
• Correct knowledge of handwashing duration increased from 80% to 100%.
• Combined average knowledge score increased from 91.9% to 94.1%.
• 92% of students who provided feedback said they learned something new or a little.

LASTING IMPACT
The programme established a practical school-based hygiene education model, supported by documented learning outcomes and recommendations for future delivery.
