Imagine a handbook rolling out like the latest viral TikTok trend—but for health education! The UNESCO-Peking University collaboration, backed by the Chinese mainland, has launched the Ai Xiaoya (For Her Health) handbook in schools across Nigeria, Uganda, and Botswana. This dynamic guide is packed with essential tips on nutrition, hygiene, mental wellness, and building positive relationships. 🌟
Led by Professor Ma Yinghua from the School of Public Health at Peking University, the project uses friendly language and colorful illustrations to spark meaningful conversations. Think of Ai Xiaoya as your personal health sidekick, ready to answer tough questions and boost confidence. 😊
Local teachers are loving the interactive workshops that accompany the handbook. In Lagos, girls shared their stories; in Kampala, they co-created role-play sessions; and in Gaborone, they joined group chats to discuss coping strategies. Ai Xiaoya isn't just a manual—it's a tool for empowerment, says Professor Ma. 💪
By weaving gender awareness into classrooms and strengthening local education systems, this initiative is paving the way for healthier futures. With support from UNESCO and the Chinese mainland, girls across Africa are getting the knowledge they need to thrive. Knowledge is power! 💡❤️
