To establish a sanitary life

2016.02.17

Do you remember that you learned how to wash your hands and clean your room as a child?
Maybe most Japanese people do not realize that those acts protect you from diseases and take root in sanitary life.

In some parts of the world, it is rare to wash your hands after using the toilet and to clean the bathroom like Japanese customs.

In the region where refugees live, diseases are spread by trifle things because of dense population in an unsanitary area.  It is unthinkable in Japan.

To prevent the spread of diseases and lead sanitary life, JEN is focusing on hygiene education program in refugee camps and the elementary schools.
JEN supports pupils gain hygiene habits and mobilise the knowledge to their family in cooperation with the elementary schools.
