In partnership with the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health, HESED is committed to promoting the overall well-being of Kenyan students through comprehensive school health programs. We believe that a healthy student body is essential for academic success, personal growth, and the development of a vibrant society.
We conduct weekly educational sessions in primary schools across Kasarani and Eastleigh Sub Counties, targeting students from grades 5 to 8. Our sessions are aligned with the comprehensive school manual developed by the government and partners, ensuring that we deliver high-quality and relevant content.
The topics in the school health manual include the following:
- Value and Skills
- Gender Issues
- Water Sanitation and Hygiene
- Child Rights
- Special Needs and Infrastructure
- Mental Health
- Disease Control and Prevention
- Nutrition
- Cross Cutting Issues

For girls:
- Pads
- Underwear
