Wellbeing Foundation Africa, a non-governmental organisation, has launched the Dettol Hygiene Quest Club (DHQ) at Ikeja Grammar School, Oshodi, Lagos, to sensitise pupils on proper hygiene practices. The Director of Programming, Mr. Williams Awotunde, noted that the DHQ project would create behavioural change among pupils.

“We are building a network of Hygiene Quest Clubs in schools, led by our ambassadors, to ensure that hygiene education and advocacy continue,” Awotunde said. “These ambassadors will promote hand-washing and hygiene practice by sharing their knowledge with peers.

The goal of the project is to instil a hand-washing culture that will persist even after the project’s completion in schools. Awotunde added, “Our goal is for the hand-washing culture to persist even after the project’s completion in schools. We launched 10 clubs in Apapa-Ajeromi council and are now extending to 10 more local governments.”

Dr. Kudirat Adeyemi, an environmental officer at Lagos State’s Education District 6, lauded the initiative, describing it as timely. “This is timely, especially during a cholera outbreak. Students need more education on hygiene,” she said.

The event featured a spelling bee competition, with participants receiving prizes. The Dettol Hygiene Quest Club is a partnership between Well-being Foundation Africa and Reckitt, producers of Dettol.
