Supporting Oral Health Education in Madagascar

Smile a Day Oral Health Education Program ( OHE)

The objective of the Smile a Day program is to provide elementary school teachers in select villages in Madagascar with skills, knowledge, and resources for initiating school-based OHE in the region and facilitate early prevention.

 

Teachers participating in the program will undergo dental health and oral hygiene education training, and be provided with teaching materials and a dental health curriculum. Funding is needed to purchase materials to implement the program, to print the curriculum for the teachers and workbooks for the students, provide oral hygiene products for classroom use, and train the teachers on how to implement the curriculum.
