Medical outreach day in East Sumba
Kawan Sehat agents also use cloth posters during village medical outreach days.
Cloth health posters for rural schools
CHF 85 funds one set of ten A2 cloth posters for health education. Kawan Sehat agents already carry them from home to home and school to school. We want teachers in every rural school in East Sumba to have a set they can use throughout the year.

Cloth health posters for everyday lessons
Cloth health posters give teachers in rural East Sumba something to show when a child asks how to wash their hands or why mosquitoes matter. Teaching materials on health are often scarce in the schools we work with. With a picture in front of them, children can point to what they recognise, ask questions and practise a simple step together.
Kawan Sehat agents already carry these posters in their Primary Medical Care kits. They use them in schools and on home visits. The fabric folds into a bag, tolerates sunlight and can be washed. Teachers can bring out the same poster again when a question comes up in another lesson.
What CHF 85 funds
CHF 85 pays for one complete set of ten A2 cloth health posters for one school. Each poster covers a different topic: handwashing, recognising malaria, preventing malaria, HIV and AIDS, second-hand smoke, alcohol and health, physical activity, waste management, food groups and nutrition, and everyday food choices.
At handover, local teachers and Kawan Sehat agents can plan a short demonstration together. For example, a teacher can put up the handwashing poster, show the steps and ask pupils to demonstrate them back. The posters stay with the school so teachers can return to those lessons throughout the year.
Browse the ten topics and their English and Indonesian versions. For wider context, see the WHO and UNESCO standards for health-promoting schools.
How we will follow up
We will record which schools receive the cloth health posters and how many sets we deliver. When we return, we will ask teachers which posters they use and observe what pupils can explain or demonstrate. That will help the team understand how schools use the materials and what they need next.
What we plan to do
Print one complete set of ten A2 cloth posters for each CHF 85 funded. Work with local teachers and Kawan Sehat agents to identify schools and hand over the sets. At handover, show teachers how to use the posters to lead a discussion or demonstrate a practical step. The aim is one set in each rural school in East Sumba.
