Good Neighbors promotes personal hygiene and sanitation in Santa Teresa communities

Since August 2024, in parallel with the medical checkups, Good Neighbors International has developed a series of talks on personal hygiene and sanitation for 2,063 children and adolescents (NNA) in the communities served by CDP Santa Teresa. These activities, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 6, seek to strengthen families’ knowledge and healthy habits to ensure sustainable water and sanitation management.

The process was led by community volunteers and social work interns from the Centro Universitario Regional (CUR) Carazo, who gave practical talks on hand washing and tooth brushing. Each participant received an educational brochure and a bar of soap to promote hygiene in their homes.

With these actions, Good Neighbors reinforces the importance of healthy habits and community empowerment, ensuring the welfare of children and contributing to the sustainable development of communities.
