The Home Hygiene, Personal cleanliness and safety best practices
It is important to clean your bed, bedsheets and all clothing. Clean your premises regularly to reduce instances of re-infection. Having a cough or TB does not stop you from participating in forms of recreation. Get out of the house and breathe in fresher air while outdoors. Remember, take your medication fully. TB Patients and Anti-TB Champion are encouraged to engage in the following activities. The aim is to keep their personal space or area and by extension your hands clean:
    • Cough and deposit spittle in a designated trough with strong detergents or ash at the bottom
    • Do not spit everywhere
    • Protect your mouth when you cough
    • Protect your nose when you blow them
    • Move with masks
    • Move with wipes
    • Wipe your shoes, sandals and slippers
    • Wash and dry all the mops you use
    • Clean all your utensils and dry them on a rack
    • Wash every after using the latrine, toilet or convenience room
    • Your room and all exposed surfaces must be mopped with detergents
    • Use hand sanitizer as you enter and exit places
    • Wipe down doors jabs, bag handles and surfaces you touch with a disinfectant wipe
    • Clean your bed-pan, spittle containers and basins with strong detergent solution
    • Put your bedding out in the sun once every week
    • Clean your house and take everything out in the sun regularly
    • Travel with your own pen and note pad. Use your own pen to sign receipts and any touch keypads.

Sexual and Reproductive health Is Business You Should Mind About! We have sexual rights, reproductive responsibilities; body agency, autonomy and self-determination goals. The dignity of humanity and the reward for healthy goals is possible when we participate in understanding who and what we are. We deploy this to negotiate for life enhancing practices or resources.

We are so happy to celebrate WALAI team, animating "living together in peace!" After the recently concluded COVID-19 Loser Africa "Do No Harm" Campaign, we resolved to create Prevention Communities of Best Practices. We want to make our communities tolerate us.

Every child has the right to be born well, to be cared for and raised well. When you are a family and the children cannot access food, care, love, compassion, privacy, agency, autonomy and self-determination tools, then that is aggression.
