Child-to-Child Kisumu
The school-based Child-to-Child programme in Kisumu was started in July 2001 by Africa Now. In the beginning, a needs assessment was conducted with support from the Ministry of Education (MoE) of Kisumu to identify schools in greatest need of the programme and 12 schools were selected. Workshops were then held to train teachers and administrators in the Child-to-Child approach, teaching and learning methods and community participation. A CtC Coordinators Committee was also established to coordinate and monitor the programme in the participating schools. Health clubs involving children were established in all schools and activities included health and hygiene assessments, health festivals, creating leaky tins for washing hands, and other activities based on the CtC readers and Activity Sheets.
