As part of advocating for clean hands and improved hygiene facilitated learning sessions, Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm’s development programme is reaching hundreds of young children across 20 Early Childhood Development centres and 14 primary schools, within the Kouga region in celebration of Global Handwashing Day on October 15. The day is an annual advocacy initiative dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of hand washing with soap as an easy, effective, and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives. “The programme looks at how to engage the children in a playful engaging way and how to help the children to become independent in their wash routines through demonstration of and support for step-by-step processes,” explained Caroll Warmberg, Managing Director, ITEC, the service provider responsible for the implementation of the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm-funded programme.
