1. | The Hapus Malaria programme, initiated by the CreativeCulture team, focuses on raising malaria awareness and prevention through creative and community-based approaches in rural Sarawak. It engages local communities, including those living in longhouses, through interactive activities such as educational games, demonstrations, and cultural performances that make learning about health and hygiene both fun and memorable. The programme promotes preventive measures like the correct use of mosquito nets, the importance of personal protection when working in forests, and early detection of malaria symptoms. Supported by student volunteers and local partners, Hapus Malaria exemplifies how outreach initiatives can effectively promote health and well-being in underserved areas by combining education, culture, and play to encourage sustainable behavioural change. | |||||||||||||
