DocumentIndia - The School Health Clubs Project in Kerala

The primary objective of SEUF is to create awareness among the population about the value of water, the importance of handling it in a sanitary way and how to improve the sanitation and hygiene conditions of people in the project area. This ensures that people participate in rural water supply schemes. It was as a component of this objective that SEUF launched the School Health Club Programme in 1989. SEUF believes that children have more potential to affect changes in their families than their elders. The School Health Clubs are considered as complementary to other programmes in relation to the management of drinking water and sanitation. In the initial phases, activities were concentrated on classes V to VII (age group 10-12). Later the programme expanded to involve all classes.
