Many hundreds of thousands of children die each year because their parents and others lack basic health information and skills. Children in the global south are a fantastic resource. Like children everywhere, they are competent and enthusiastic. They can learn, collect and share basic health ideas and skills to keep healthy themselves, and to help others.

“At Children for Health it is our dream that, before children leave primary school, every child will have learnt and shared 100 important health messages.”
Clare Hanbury, CEO

Our orginal 10 topics are designed for 8-14 year olds. Each topic has ideas for getting children mobilised to learn more and share ideas!

We created an additional eight topics in partnership with others to tackle issues that were impacting their communities.

Use these free booklets to teach children the messages and encourage them to share what they’ve learnt.
