World Teachers’ Day

Teachers help children become health champions. This World Teachers’ Day, we celebrate teachers who help children explore health, ask questions and share what they learn.

At Kamegunyet School in Kenya, through our work with Dig Deep, children explored water, sanitation and diarrhoea, then continued their enquiries at home.

Over 90% of workshop participants gave their confidence in the participatory approach the highest rating. In a follow-up review, parents reported that children were reusing water and growing food at home. Sources: CfH internal visit report, November 2024 and CFH follow-up report, April 2025.

Teachers were impressed by how seriously the older children took the task. Children investigate. Teachers guide. Four steps bring health learning to life:

• Understand
• Find out more
• Plan and take action
• Reflect on the results

This World Teachers’ Day, thank you to every teacher who makes space for children’s ideas and helps learning reach beyond the classroom.
