A coloring book performs miracle for children!

Ever wondered how to save a million children? Well, here is a practical way! Children know a lot about coming up with new ideas to play; but not about staying healthy or keeping themselves clean. And that is costing their lives, especially when their parents did not have health literacy. Each day thousands of children in south Asian countries fall victim of diseases that can be prevented, if they knew basic hygiene requirements and ways keep themselves clean. Their homes and schools do not have any set healthy standards.

Sanma’s Children’s Healthy Village program addresses this problem both at the grass root level. SANMA’s Health Information Specialists and social workers conduct healthy village seminars at the villages, at Sanma Community Education Centers and at public schools. The program is designed in such a way that children can monitor their progress with little supervision.

Children are empowered and motivated through a coloring project. Fifteen coloring projects in a book teach children how to keep hygiene, save and enrich their lives by practicing healthy life-style habits each day!  To millions of children, this "Health Improvement Coloring Book" will be the first coloring book they have ever owned!
