Council embarks on health education campaign in schools

The City of Masvingo recently launched a comprehensive health education campaign aimed at raising awareness and promoting healthier lifestyles among school children across the city.

The campaign, which will be rolled out in all local schools, is part of the council’s ongoing efforts to ensure a healthier future for the community.

The first school which benefited from the campaign is Masvingo Christian College. Issues discussed included, drug and substance abuse, prevention of teenage pregnancies and adolescence and menstrual hygiene.

The primary goal of this initiative is to educate young people about key health issues, including hygiene, mental well-being, physical activity, and the prevention of common diseases.

By empowering students with knowledge about health practices, Council aims to cultivate a generation that values wellness and adopts healthier habits that will last a lifetime.
