| Health Education Materials Sponsorship
A facet of MEDICO's field team work includes health education for community residents and leaders at the work site we serve. We recognize that many of the residents we work with are illiterate and therefore, rely on posters with images as we instruct the groups in health education. Lessons are always basic hygiene, safe water usage, food preparation, animal control and the like. As a part of these lessons we have incorporated 12 color posters that are laminated. Our desire is to offer this instruction using these tools and then leave them in the community in the village schools and churches to help perpetuate the lessons learned. The cost of these posters is $100.00 per each field team per year or 7 sets of laminated posters annually. Sponsorship of these health education tools would enable MEDICO to make an indelible imprint not only through health assessment but through good health practice. To sponsor this item, please contact Brian in the MEDICO offices at brian@medico.org.
