Maria was invited to teach. Maria welcomed all the members for the lesson, she introduced the topic as Pneumonia and diarrhea asking members the causes, prevention, treatment. Hadijah shared how some women smoke herbs thinking that when they do that, their husbands will not get other wives, not knowing that their lungs are being affected their lungs. Maria encouraged the member to use the safe stoves that Kibo promoted in their village as they keep smoke out of their kitchens,save firewood and are safe for cooking, also ventilate their houses and provide warm covers to keep their children warm during the cold weather so as to avoid contracting pneumonia. On addition to pneumonia we discussed about diarrhea basically causes, and Hajirah shared the different causes where she mentioned lack of latrine and poor hygiene, and most women pinned their husbands for not digging pit latrines and even not taking care of their homes.
