Boxes for Health
We’ve spent many years developing the 100 health messages for children to learn and share in their families and communities. We then developed the posters to illustrate these messages for use in the classroom, health clubs, churches and anywhere children are.
Now the schools need them.
We need your help to get them there.
Millions of families in low-resource settings grow up without knowing basic information on how to protect their health. They don’t learn how to wash their hands properly, how to use a bednet, how immunisations work, how to ensure water is safe to drink or how to protect their mental health.
This is why we have co-created life-saving health posters with messages and activities for children to learn and share and help themselves and their friends and families.
They’re free to download — and they’re being used in over 150 countries.
But here is the truth: free and digital isn’t enough.
These are schools with:
- No internet
- No printers
- No paper
So the posters we’ve made – and the knowledge and ideas they carry – don’t reach the families who need them most.
We need help to print and distribute Boxes for Health to these schools and communities.
We’re sending ready-to-use Boxes for Health directly to 20 schools in Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia.
Each box includes two full sets of our 20 illustrated health posters.
The posters cover topics like hygiene, nutrition, safe water, immunisation, and mental health. They have child-friendly designs co-created with children across the world.
When children use them in the classroom, they don’t just learn the messages, they teach the messages to others. They take what they learn home!
Our first Boxes for Health have gone to four schools in Kenya in September 2025! A huge thank you to all the people who made it possible!
Each box contains two sets of Children for Health’s life-saving, health promoting posters on essential topics like:
