Empower Children to Spread Health in Rural China
Organization information
Concordia Welfare and Education Foundation
Location: Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Summary
China has made incredible strides in access to health facilities. However, many preventable and treatable illnesses still become lifelong disabilities or chronic diseases due to a lack of proper sanitation and hygiene. CWEF works with rural communities and schools to address this issue through a program called HEAL ("Health Education, Advocacy & Literacy"), which tackles both the need for proper health-related facilities and the knowledge and behavior change needed for healthy living.
