As communities around the world respond to the rapidly evolving situation around Covid-19 RDWB( Research and Development Without Borders) a Cameroonian-based NGO came up with a new concept known as the back-to-school campaign to help the local community effectively fight the pandemic. This involved disinfecting classrooms, toilets and the school environment as a means to protect young people and provide a safe learning space for all. Apart from covid-19, kids from community schools are often faced with common flu and other hygiene-related conditions. The project targeted low-income schools around the Mbalgong community found in the out sketch of Yaounde Cameroon and so far about 80% of schools have been disinfected.

BENEFITS TO SCHOOLS

• This campaign will create a safe environment for both staff and pupils.
• Reduce medical costs for parents as pupils will be free from common flu, diarrhoea other related diseases.
• Creates sanitation awareness in communities starting from the school milieu
