The project aims to provide 50,000 schools throughout Egypt with awareness material on the prevention of the A/H1N1 virus.

Project Description

In light of the current worldwide outbreak of the A/HIN1 virus, this project focuses on raising awareness on A/H1N1 prevention for teachers, students and their families.

In partnership with the Egyptian Ministry of Health (MoH), USAID, and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg, the EFG-Hermes Foundation was able to provide 50,000 schools in Egypt with a ‘Fight the Virus’ package containing a myriad of awareness material. The awareness materials included a CD titled ‘How to protect your self and your family from the virus’, a teachers guide for awareness-raising , a brochure on the procedures that must be taken in schools to limit the risk of the virus, and various posters depicting means of prevention such as hand washing, disposing of used tissue, etc.
