Employing a Child to Child approach, MAP is seeking to improve the health and nutritional status of children living in three marginalised areas of central Gaza, El Berka, Wadi El Selqa and Al Mughraqa. The distinguishing characteristic of the Child to Child approach is the direct involvement of children in the process of health education and promotion. The project has involved a number of very successful programmes addressing nutritional issues and vitamin A deficiency in particular. Methods include educational sessions, radio programmes, puppet shows and talk shows as well as summer camps and 'merry days' to raise awareness of nutritional issues.
