The Health and Wellbeing programme from Challenges Abroad will immerse you into rural communities and your project will encompass working with local children and youth mainly from low-income families. Here, you can use your skills and passion for good health and wellbeing to support our community partners and projects in the community. This could include working with children and youth at local schools to deliver health awareness workshops to improve their basic health and hygiene skills, and raise awareness and education of disease transmission, female health and hand washing. Through these activities, you will be inspiring children to pursue education and helping to improve health education quality.
Challenges Abroad are also offering a unique experience for nursing students!
