Скачать или смотреть The Problem with Health Education and Why Children Are Part of the Answer | EmpowerED Podcast Ep.1

How can children change family health practices not just learn about health?

🎙️ About the Podcast: Health education is often top-down, created without meaningful interaction with the children and communities it aims to serve. At EmpowerED, we’re changing that. Hosted by Clare Hanbury, we share real stories from those on the ground in Kenya, Pakistan, Zambia, and beyond.
