Health Lessons
University Developed, Locally Implemented
Brigham Young University students and professors have been instrumental in developing health education materials and training materials for our program coordinators in-country. Our local coordinators receive the training and materials they need to teach parents and caregivers important aspects of public health and child cognitive development that will help ensure a better outcome for the children they serve. Each month, during supplement distribution, the coordinators choose one topic to cover and rotate through the lessons throughout the year.
