Program Training
KADWP coordinators gave one follow-up training in distribution of vitamin A and deworming
medication to 20 KADWP workers and 31 school teachers from the KTWG in 2011. Training
topics included general information on worms and Vitamin A, how worms are transmitted, side
effects of the medicines, personal hygiene, clean drinking water, nutrition, and methods to
educate children and parents. Trained teachers in turn train other school personnel to
implement distribution in their schools and to use an improved system of record keeping that
enables KDHW to monitor and evaluate the program.
An enjoyable KADWP training activity
Future Plans
KADWP may change the target population of vitamin A recipients from children from 0-12 years
to children under 5 years old, according to WHO recommendations for vitamin A. 9 KADWP will
discuss the change issue with partner organizations before reaching a final decision.
We thank our partners in the KADWP:
Child’s Dream (funding, medicine)
Global Health Access Program (technical support, funding)
Karen Education Department, Karen Teachers Working Group,
Karen State Education Assistance Group (program implementation, transportation, data collection)
