Fact Sheets

Fact sheet drawing about Family Hygiene

Fact sheets aim to assist Village Action Groups (VAG's) to discuss and learn about priority subjects. They are largely self-explanatory while VAG Leaders will be trained how to use them during VAG meetings.
Each fact sheet includes:

  1. Introduction sheet.
  2. Sheets about different aspects regarding the subject with questions, explanations, and referrals to the fact sheet drawings. Often one sheet will be covered during a VAG meeting.
  3. Drawings.
  4. Key information sheet.

We provide generic fact sheets based on work we have done together with our partner organizations in different countries (mainly Eastern and Southern Africa; developing draft fact sheets, field testing them in different VAG's in different countries, adapting them, etc.). The idea is that organizations that wish to work with the fact sheets will customize them to the local circumstances.

We provide fact sheets in the following themes:

  1. Diseases (malaria, diarrhea, HIV/AIDS, etc.)
  2. Family (child health, dental care, maternal health, etc.)
  3. Watsan (water facilities, latrines, hand wash facilities, waste bins, etc.)
  4. Agriculture (rain-fed agriculture, small-scale irrigation, tree nurseries, etc.
  5. Livestock (cows, chicken, pigs, goats, beekeeping, etc.)
  6. Housing (house construction, compound improvement, firewood saving stoves, etc.)
  7. Economy (revolving & rotating funds, small businesses, etc.)
  8. Human rights (equality and diversity, child rights, domestic violence, etc.)
