Objective: Improve oral hygiene in the Ukraine and Ecuador with peer education videos and delivery of dental supplies.
Dental care and oral hygiene contribute significantly to long-term health. In many countries, including Ukraine and Ecuador, basic dental care and preventative treatment are rare and treatment often occurs when poor hygiene has created other issues.
ShareHealth! aims to improve oral hygiene among Ukrainian and Ecuadorian children by collaborating with an elementary school in Heidelberg to produce a video narrated by children and dubbed into the local language. In the video, they share basic preventative dental techniques to build long-term oral health habits. The children also form a class-to-class bond and will send dental supplies donated by the Heidelberg community to let their peers put the video into action.
