Campaña audiovisual educativa de manejo de agua segura y manipulación de alimentos en Cerrito de los Morreños-Puná

Abstract

Cerrito de los Morreños is a vulnerable community in Guayas, facing daily challenges such as the lack of water and electricity. The objective of this project was to create an audiovisual guide focused on topics related to safe water and proper food handling, adapted to their reality to ensure usability whenever needed. The project comprised several phases. The first involved conducting a site survey and analyzing previous CAP surveys. The second phase included developing audiovisual materials. Finally, the campaign involved disseminating videos on social networks, conducting workshops to reinforce knowledge, and administering CAP surveys to assess improvements. Results indicated enhanced knowledge and practices among the population. However, evaluation of attitudes revealed two indicators requiring future intervention: the method of boiling water and residents' perceptions of this practice. The campaign significantly contributed to fostering public health responsibility regarding water and food handling issues.
