Community Led Education and Action against NTDs (CLEAN): Building Schools’ Capacity to Improve Health with an Integrated Approach

The purpose of this manual is to provide you and your school with tools for leading a successful health education and disease prevention program. The lessons included in this manual focus on information and behaviors that are important for preventing such diseases as schistosomiasis, intestinal worms, and blinding trachoma. These diseases are often spread through a lack of personal hygiene and environmental cleanliness, and simple behaviors can help prevent them from spreading. While medicine is important for treating these diseases, people may become reinfected if they do not make the necessary changes to their daily hygiene practices and environment.

The manual is available in English and Amharic.
