Yaqeen Badge Question with Answers
(a)Spiritual Development (25)
Q1 Write an Essay of 200 words on any one of the following topics:
1 Ghazva-e-Badar,
The first battle between the believers of truth (Islam) and the forces of evil was fought on the battle field of Badar, 60 miles
from Madinah towards Makkah. On one side stood a small group of 313 men of whom merely 60 of them wore armour,
while facing them was arranged an army of one thousand warriors well armed and equipped. The believers had the strength
of their Faith in Allah and His Prophet. They knew that Truth must prevail and falsehood must be destroyed. Thus it was
this very Faith which brought about the Miracle and Truth did triumph.
2 Ghazva-e-Ohad,
Ohud is a hill near Madinah. The famous battle of Ohud was fought in the valley of this hill. The non-believers from
Quresh, invaded Madinah with an army of three thousand, in the third year of Hijra.
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) with his 700 worthy companions fought the battle and like all such occasions, in
this battle too, the Faith of the Muslims for Allah and love for His Prophet (peace be upon him) gave them strength to
defend themselves inspite of lack of numbers and inferiority of equipment.
3 Ghazva-e-Khandaq (Battle of Ehzaab)
Abu Sufyan had succeeded in forming a military alliance composed of the Jews and various tribes of the Arabs. The news
of this great army was brought to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). He called a meeting of His Companions. On the
suggestion of Hazrat Salman Farsi, a trench of a depth of five cubits and width of more than ten cubits was dug, all around.
The ten thousand strong army of Quresh tried to cross it for 25 days but in-vain. At last, the army began to defect and Abu
Sufyan was forced to lead it back to Makkah in utter depression.
4 Ghazva-e-Tabuk
The Campaign to Tabuk was the result of conflict with the Roman Empire that had started even before the conquest of
Makkah. One of the missions sent after the Treaty of Hudaibiyah to different parts of Arabia visited the clans which lived
in the northern areas adjacent to Syria. The majority of these people were Christians who were under the influence of the
Roman Empire. Contrary to all the principles of the commonly accepted international law they killed fifteen members of
the delegation near a place known as Zat-u-Talah (or Zat-i-Itlah). Only Ka'ab bin Umair Ghifari the head of the delegation
succeeded in escaping and reporting the sad incident. Besides this Shurahbll bin Amr the Christian governor of Busra who
was directly under the Roman Caesar had also put to death Haritli bin Umair the ambassador of the Holy Prophet who had
been sent to him on a similar minion.

(b)Intellectual Development (25)
Q4 Pioneering: How to Make and also know the Uses of
1 Fireman Chair Knot
Use: The fireman's chair knot is a rescue knot. There are two loops formed. One which goes under the
arms; the other under the legs of person.
2 Crown Knot
Use ---- To tie of the end of a rope so that it does not UN lay. ----- To begin a back splice. ---- As part
of several multiple strand knots.
3 Rolling Hitch
Use: The rolling hitch is a versatile knot that has many uses. One of the most practical is for exerting
force along another line. For instance if a jib sheet jams in a winch, you can attach a rolling hitch to
take the pressure off the line as you undo the jam
4 Square Lashings
Use: The Square Lashing is used to bind together two spars that are at right angles with one another.
Square lashings are designed to be load bearing and can be used to create scaffolding.
5 Diagonal Lashings
Use: The Diagonal Lashing is used to lash two spars together. Unlike the Square lashing which works
for right angle crossings, the diagonal lashing secures poles crossing each other at a variety of angles
6 Tripod Lashings
Use: Ashley shows a Tripod Lashing but he shows the two side legs spreading apart from each other
instead of crossing. The method shown in the animation is preferred because the legs bind against each
other for greater stability
7 Splices
Rope splicing in ropework is the forming of a semi-permanent joint between two ropes or two parts of the
same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands. Splices can be used to form a stopper at the
end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope, or for joining two ropes together. Splices are preferred to
knotted rope, since while a knot typically reduces the strength by 20-40% [1], some splices can retain up to 95%
of the strength of the line. However, splicing usually results in a thickening of the line and if subsequently
removed a distortion of the rope. Most types of splices are used on 3 strand rope, but some can be done on 12
strand or greater single braided rope as well as most double braid
Back Splices

3. Back splice (also called an end splice) - A splice where the strands of the end of the rope are spliced directly
back into the end without forming a loop. It is used to finish off the end of the rope to keep it from fraying. The
end of the rope with the splice is about twice the thickness of the rest of the rope. With nylon and other plastic
materials, the back splice is often no longer used; the rope strands are simply fused together with heat to
prevent fraying
Short Splices
short splice - Also a splice used to join the ends of two ropes, but the short splice is more similar to the
technique used in other splices and results in the spliced part being about twice as thick as the non spliced part,
and has greater strength than the long splice. The short splice retains more of the rope strength than any knots
that join rope ends.
Eye Splices
The eye splice is the best method of creating a permanent loop in the end of multi stranded rope by means
of rope splicing. The ends of the rope are tucked (plaited) back into the standing end to form the loop. Originally
this splice was described with each end being tucked only about three times. When the splice was made in
tarred hemp or cotton this was reasonably safe. With modern synthetic ropes, five complete tucks is a minimum
and additional tucks are recommended for critical loads. The eyesplice is also commonly used on wire rope.
Q5. Map Reading and Making
A) Describe Contours and Conventional Signs.
A map is a birds eye view of a piece of land draw on a mangerbal piece of paper only accret to the day it was
printed., almost everything that appears on a map, except a written name, is a conventional sign.
Conventional signs are designed to enable the maximum amount of information to be put on a map in the
clearest way possible
Cartographic conventional signs
Cartographic conventional signs are represented as designations of different objects ant its
qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Conventional signs are standard and obligatory for all
departments and establishments of USSR that are engaged with map creation. Conventional signs of one
and the same objects on all large-scaled maps are the same outlines and coloring, but differ in size. For
each group of homogeneous objects a common conventional sign, as a rule, is fixed and it defines the class
of objects. It usually has simple outline, which is convenient for drafting and memorizing. A conventional
sign corresponds by its illustration and color with the depicted locality object.
Cartographic conventional signs according to the function geometric qualities are divided into
three types: linear, out-scaled and areal. Except conventional signs there are some signs on
maps, that elucidate kind or type of depicted on the map objects and its qualitative or
quantitative characteristics.
Linear cartographic conversional signs
Linear cartographic conversional signs depict objects of linear character,
the length of which becomes apparent in the scale of a map, road, oil-pipe line, power line,
etc.
Out-scaled cartographic conventional signs
Cartographic out-scaled conventional signs depict objects, the square of
which is not presented in the scale of a map. The position of the object on map is defined: in

4. the center of a sign, that has symmetrical form; in the middle of a sign base with wide bottom; in the top of
a sign's angle with the bottom in the form of a right angle; in the center of lower figure sign, that represent
a combination of several figures.
B) How to Draw a Map Using Triangular Method
Triangulation is the process of pinpointing the location of something by taking bearings to it from two
remote points.
Forest fire lookout towers used triangulation to locate spot fires.
A ranger at Tower A would see smoke in the distance and take a bearing to it on his compass. This single
line was not enough information to locate the fire because it could be anywhere along that line, close or
many miles away.
The ranger would radio Tower B and tell him the general direction of the fire. Tower B would then find the
fire from his viewpoint and take a bearing. Where the two bearings crossed would pinpoint the fire and
firefighters could be efficiently dispatched to put it out.
Sometimes, a third tower would be used to verify the location, but two readings are all that is usually
necessary. If a fire occurs directly between two towers or off in a direction that causes their bearings to be
similar, then a third bearing is necessary.
This type of triangulation is used by two fixed spots to find a third unknown spot. What you need to do while
in the outdoors is similar, but you need to find out where you are, not where something else is
Q6. Estimation: Distances, Numbers, Heights and Weights,
(Knowledge of measuring each in Two (2) Different ways) and Know his Personal Measurement
Heights
Measuring Heights - Pencil Method or Proportional Method
Have a friend whose height you know stand beside a tree, or tie a ribbon around the tree at your own height. Step back and hold a pencil or
a stick at arm's length in front of you. With one eye closed, sight over the stick so that the top of it appears to touch the ribbon or your
friend's head. Place your thumbnail on the stick where it seems to touch the base of the tree. Now move the stick up to see how many times
this measurement goes into the height of the tree. Multiply that number by the height of your friend or the ribbon, and you will know the
height of the tree. You can also use this method to measure buildings, waterfalls, and walls
We merely solve the unknown height by use of proportions, by equating:
AB KNOWN AB - Length of the shadow cast by tree
UNKNOWN = ----------------------, where
CD CD - Length of the shadow cast by a known height
Widths
Measuring Widths - Napoleon Method
Stand on one shore of a stream. Bow your head, chin against your chest. Hold your hand to your forehead in a
salute. Move your hand down until the front edge of it seems to touch the opposite shore. Without changing the
position of your hand, make a quarter turn. Notice the point at which the edge of your hand seems to touch the

5. near shore. Pace off the distance to that point, and you will know the width of the river. Napoleon might have
used the brim of this hat instead of his hand. If you are wearing a cap with a visor, so can you.
Measuring Widths - Stride or Step Method
Select an object on the opposite side of the river, such as a tree and we mark it as A. Mark the point directly in
front of the object on the opposite side of the river, mark it as point B. Take at least 50 paces to point C, so as to
form line BC. Note that line BC should be perpendicular to line AB. Mark point C with a stick or another
person. Again, pace another distance to point D. The distance CD is half the distance of BC. From point D, pace
another distance to point E. Line DE is parallel to line AB. Point E is marked on a location wherein you can see
point C forming a straight line with point A. Meaning when you look at the stick on point C. it somewhat blocks
your line of sight to point A. The distance AB is twice the distance DE. AB = DE x 2. We can alter the method
a bit. Instead of having distance CD half the distance between BC, we can make it equal to each other. Do the
same method to find point E. Using this alternative, AB=DE. This is more accurate.
Measuring Widths - Compass Method
Locate an object on the other side of a river. Stand on your side and point the direction-of-travel arrow towards
the object. Align the magnetic needle to 45O indicator of the compass housing. Pace the line BC while pointing
the direction-of-travel arrow towards the object all the time. Point C is marked when the compass is oriented
(magnetic needle is directly above the orienteering arrow). The distance BC is a rough estimate of distance AC.
You have just formed a 45-45-90 triangle, which has two of its sides equal to each other.

Q8. Importance of Camping, write the check List
Camping is a growing, family-friendly activity that draws people away from life's everyday stresses and into
nature. Whether roughing it in a tent in the back country, or maintaining some comforts of home in an RV,
camping creates opportunities for kids to learn life lessons. Make some plans, pack the marshmallows, and head
out to share in an adventure with your kids at your favorite campground.

Q10. A) First Aid: Know How to
1 Treat Heat
Definition: A process in which an alloy or metal is heated to a suitable temperature, is held at that temperature long enough
to allow a certain constituent to enter into solid solution, and is then cooled rapidly to hold that constituent in solution. Most
solution heat treatments soften or anneal.
2 Sun Strokes
• 1. Enough drinking of water
• 2. Oral Rehydration Salts
• 3. Avoid extreme sun-bathing hard labor
• 4. Use a head cover
• 5. Carry drinking water or home made ORS during journey
3 Electrical Shock and Faints
Fainting
Fainting is often caused by a person’s blood pooling in their lower extremities, which results in
not enough blood and oxygen getting to the brain.
This can be caused by standing still for a prolonged period especially on a hot day, as a result of
pain or while experiencing something that causes distress.
Fainting can often be confused with shock. The major difference between the two is the persons
pulse rate. Someone who is suffering from feeling faint will have a slow pulse, whereas a person
in shock will have weak rapid pulse.
Treatment for someone who is feeling faint is to get them to sit or preferably lay down with their
legs elevated. If the person is experiencing a fainting attack they will show immediate signs of
recovery once they are lying down. You may also need to treat any other injuries caused by the
patient falling over.

7. If the person doesn’t begin to recover almost immediately there may possibly be something else
wrong, and calling for medical help is required
Electrical Shock

Q11. Know Basic knowledge about Respiratory System and Uses of Two (2) Methods of Artificial Respiration
Methods of Artificial Respiration
The are three methods of artificial respiration:
1. Mouth-to-mouth/ Mouth-to-nose
2. Chest pressure arm lift (Silvester)
3. Back pressure arm lift (Holger-Nielsen)
The most practical method is the mouth-to-mouth/nose method.
Step 1: Evaluation
1. Check for responsiveness of the victim.
2. Call for help.
3. Position the unconscious casualty so that he is lying on his back and on a firm surface. If the
casualty is lying on his chest (prone position), cautiously roll the casualty as a unit so that his
body does not twist (which may further complicate a neck, back or spinal injury).
Follow the following steps for rolling the victim:

8. 1. Straighten the casualty's legs. Take the casualty's arm that is nearest to you and move it so
that it is straight and above his head. Repeat procedure for the other arm.
2. Kneel beside the casualty with your knees near his shoulders (leave space to roll his body).
Place one hand behind his head and neck for support. With your other hand, grasp the
casualty under his far arm (See Figure above).
3. Roll the casualty toward you using a steady and even pull. His head and neck should stay in
line with his back.
4. Return the casualty's arms to his side. Straighten his legs. Reposition yourself so that you are
now kneeling at the level of the casualty's shoulders. However, if a neck injury is suspected,
and the jaw thrust will be used, kneel at the casualty's head, looking toward his feet.
Step 2: Opening the Airway-Unconscious and Not Breathing Casualty
If there is any foreign matter visible in the victim's mouth, wipe it quickly with your fingers or
cloth wrapped around your fingers.
1. Tilt the Head back so the chin is pointing upwards. The victim should be flat on his back. Pull
or push the jaw into a jutting out position for removal of obstruction of the airway by moving
the base of tongue away from back of throat (See figure below).
2. Open your mouth wide and place it tightly over the victim's mouth. At the same time pinch the
victim's nostrils shut or close with your cheek. Or close the victim's mouth and place your
mouth over the nose. Blow into the victim's mouth or nose. (Air may be blown through the
victim's teeth, even if they are clenched). The first blowing method should determine whether
or not obstruction exists.

9. 3. Remove your mouth, turn your head to side and listen for the return rush of the air that
indicate air exchange. Repeat the blowing effort.
For the adult blow vigorously at a rate of about 12 breaths per minute. For a child, take
relatively shallow breaths appropriate for the child's size, at a rate of about 20 per minute.
4. If the victim is not breathing out the air that you blew in, recheck the head and jaw position. If
you still do no get air exchange, quickly turn the victim on his side and hit him sharply between
the shoulder blades several times in hope of dislodging foreign matter.
Again sweep you finger through the victim's mouth to remove foreign matter.
If you do not wish to come in direct contact with person, you may hold a cloth over the victim's
mouth or nose and breath through it. Cloth does not greatly affect the exchange of air.
5. After giving two breaths which cause the chest to rise, attempt to locate a pulse on the
casualty. Feel for a pulse on the side of the casualty's neck closest to you by placing the first
two fingers (index and middle fingers) of your hand on the groove beside the casualty's
Adam's apple (carotid pulse). (Your thumb should not be used for pulse taking because you
may confuse your pulse beat with that of the casualty.) Maintain the airway by keeping your
other hand on the casualty's forehead. Allow 5 to 10 seconds to determine if there is a pulse
(See Figure).
1. If a pulse is found and the casualty is breathing --STOP; allow the casualty to breathe on his
own. If possible, keep him warm and comfortable.
2. If a pulse is found and the casualty is not breathing, continue rescue breathing.
3. If a pulse is not found, begin chest compression.

10. 1. Expose chest and find breast bone. Put the heal of one hand on breast bone and other
hand on top.
2. Compress the chest 15 times.
If a pulse is not found, seek medically trained personnel for help.
For infants and small children
If there is any foreign matter visible in the victim's mouth, wipe it quickly with your fingers or
cloth wrapped around your fingers.
1. Place the child on his back and use the fingers of both hands to lift the lower jaw from beneath
and behind, so that it juts out.
2. Place your mouth over the child mouth and nose, making a relatively leak proof seal and
breathe into the child, using shallow puffs of air. The breathing rate should be about
20/minute.
If you meet resistance in your blowing efforts, recheck the position of the jaw. If the air
passages are still blocked, the child should be suspended momentarily by the ankles, or
inverted over the arm and given two or three sharp pats between the shoulder blades, in the
hope of dislodging obstructing matter
Q12. Know the Danger of High and Low Blood Pressure
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure means the pressure of blood in your arteries as it’s being pumped by the heart.
Higher blood pressure is linked with a higher incidence of diabetes complications, such as kidney
disease and sight damage, so the blood pressure target for people with diabetes is a reading of under
130/80 mmHg.
Read more on the meaning of these numbers below the symptoms.

11. What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?
Most diabetics with high blood pressure have no symptoms.
However, very high blood pressure or rapidly rising blood pressure can cause:
• Headaches
• Vision problems
• Nose bleeds
• Trouble breathing
• Fits
• Black-outs
What are the symptoms of low blood pressure?
Similar to high blood pressure, the symptoms of low pressure may not always be apparent. If you do get symptoms, they
may be identified as any of the following:
• Feeling dizzy, light headed or fainting
• blurred vision
• a rapid or irregular heartbeat
• feeling nauseous
• confusion
What do blood pressure numbers mean?
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury, as two figures, for example 124/80 mmHg.
• The first number (124 in this case) is known as systolic pressure - pressure in the arteries when the heart
contracts.
• The second number (80 here) is diastolic pressure - the pressure in the arteries when the heart rest
(d)Social Development (25)
Q13.What is Social Services and what is the responsibility of scout
Social services are organizations that assist people in need. There are many different types of services that
they perform and can range from helping domestic violence victims to financially in need people.

12. Why Social Work?
The profession of social work was founded on a set of core values and principles that still guide its unique purpose and
perspective today. These core values include service, social justice, inherent dignity and worth of the person, importance of
human relationships, integrity, and competence. For more than 100 years, social workers have helped millions of people
challenge their circumstances and change their lives, and pushed institutions to value and support persons in need.
According to the NASW Code of Ethics, social work core values are defined as:
Service Social work's primary goal is to help people in need and to address social problems. Social workers elevate service
to others above self-interest. Social workers draw on their knowledge, values, and skills to help people in need and to
address social problems.
Social Justice Social workers challenge social injustice. Social workers pursue social change, particularly with and on
behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals and groups of people. Social workers' social change efforts are focused
primarily on issues of poverty, unemployment, discrimination, and other forms of social injustice.
Dignity and Worth of the Person Social workers respect the inherent dignity and worth of the person. Social workers treat
each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethic diversity. Social
workers support client self-determination, that is, the right of individuals to make choices about their futures.
Importance of Human Relationships Social workers recognize the central importance of human relationships. Social
workers understand that relationships between and among people are an important vehicle for change. Social workers
engage people as partners in the helping process. They seek to strengthen relationships among people in a purposeful
effort to promote, restore, maintain, and enhance well-being of individuals, families, social groups, organizations, and
communities.
Integrity Social workers behave in a trustworthy manner. Social workers are continually aware of the profession's mission,
values, ethical principles, and ethical standards and practice in a manner consistent with them. Social workers act honestly
and responsibly and promote ethical practices on the part of organizations with which they are affiliated.
Competence Social workers practice within their areas of competence and develop and enhance their professional
expertise. Social workers continually strive to increase their professional knowledge and skills and to apply them in practice.
Social workers should aspire to contribute to the knowledge base of the profession.
Q14.Conservation:
A) What is the Causes of ‘Land Erosion’ and know methods for Protecting
Introduction
Erosion has been heavily studied across the world by engineers and
geologist because it is such a common occurrence and they are further
looking for reasons on why this occurs. Erosion is the break down of soil
particles contained in soil and dirt. Erosion occurs just as fast as it takes
the soil to form so erosion consequences can be devastating if it is not
controlled. Erosion problems whether they are little or small can
definitely be controlled and prevented against soil erosion problems.
Matting and blankets are the most common forms of erosion controlling methods. Researchers are always coming up with new
erosion control products to help prevent and protect soil types but they are yet to know just exactly what else causes erosion. Over
the next few paragraphs we will discuss the known causes of erosion.
Human Causes of Erosion
Human activity on and around the earths surface whether it is in your backyard or down the park are known to cause erosion 10
times more than naturally occurring processes. Human life has been the number on cause of erosion dating back to the first
millennium. Agriculture and construction are the 2 ways in which humans cause erosion. Construction when unnecessarily

13. conducted can be quite damaging to soil and dirt. Vegetation and agriculture are also 2 human causes of erosion because humans
move the top soil and make it prone to erosion.
Grazing and deforestation are also human causes of erosion because human
life is making the grounds surface soil bare and extremely prone to erosion by
natural forces. Across America where soil is being eroded due to human
activity.
Another way in which humans cause erosion is by simply watering their gardens. Erosion occurs when watering the gardens of your
residential property mainly because the force of water which is coming from your garden hose or irrigation system is too fierce and
it makes the soil eroded quite quickly. We can prevent this also by not over watering garden areas containing soil.
Natural Causes of Erosion
Mother Nature works in mysterious ways. One of the most natural causes of
erosion is rainfall. Rainfall can be devastating to soil because of the force
and impact in which it hits the topsoil with. These splashing affects cause
soil to lose particles and shift and move around into unknown places. When
the eroded area (which has been caused by water) dries up it is known to
form gullies and large cracks in the surface which can be so damaging to
rural and farming properties.
B) What is the Causes of ‘Wild Fire’ and know How to Control it
Wildfire Causes
Wildfire is a naturally occurring part of the environment. While we often think of wildfires as being "bad", it is just
one way of nature eliminating dead vegetation - sort of an environmental house-cleaning. However, as humans
settled this country and began clearing land and building homes, roads, railroads, and campgrounds, new artificial
causes of wildfire arrived on the scene.
Typically Michigan residents will guess that smoking and lightning are the two most common causes of wildfire.
However, the number of wildfires caused by smoking and lightning generally cause less than 5 percent of all
Michigan wildfires. As mentioned earlier, most wildfires in Michigan are caused by people burning debris. However,
wildfires are also caused by vehicle exhaust, sparks from trains and heavy equipment, camping, smoking, arson and
lightning. A breakdown of Michigan wildfire causes is posted on the MDNR website.
Causes of wildfires will vary from state to state. For example, in Florida, approximately half of all wildfires are
ignited by lightning, while in Michigan only about 2 percent are caused by lightning. These variations are due to
climate, vegetation, topography, and weather.
C) What is the Importance of ‘Wild Life’ and Basic Rules of ‘Wild Life?
Wildlife is an important part of ecological community as wildlife play an important rule in the environment. There
are several importance of wildlife as wildlife it self is an important character of nature so its conservation is an
important obligation for human beings for the sustainability of life on planet earth so there is a comprehensive article
on why it is important to save wildlife:
1. Ecological Value
2. Economic Value
3. Recreational Value
4. Scientific Value
5. Social Value
6. Aesthetical Value

14. Q15. The Uses and Care of Axe and Saw
Using a bow saw
1. Make sure that the wood is held firmly - if you must use your hand for this, keep it well away from the blade.
2. Start slowly, pulling the blade backward towards you until the blade is well into the wood. Then push and pull in
a steady rhythm using the whole length of the blade.
3. Always mask the saw after use - either use a plastic 'clip-on' mask or tie a length of sacking around the blade.
use the hand-axe
Before attempting to use a hand-axe, it is important to read the Information Sheet and
familiarise yourself with the different parts of an axe and the safety guidelines.
Only use the hand-axe in a marked chopping area.
Ideally this will be near to the fire area but separated from it by a woodpile containing prepared wood, graded into
different sizes.
Q20.What is Health and Hygiene; explain with example and how we control with Social Development Scouting
Project
HYGIENE & HEALTH
􀁺 Hygiene- A set of preventive measures for good health has become an essential part of our lives.
􀁺 Health is a resource for everyday life, not the object of living. It is a positive concept emphasizing social and
personal resources as well as physical capabilities.
􀁺 Today it seems natural to wash our hands, vaccinate our children or drink Safe water, but it hasn't always been so.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HYGIENE
􀁺 Water and sanitation facilities on their own do not result in improved health.
􀁺 Access to improved facilities is crucial, but it is the correct use of water and sanitation facilities that leads to a
reduction in disease.
􀁺 Hygiene is a key factor.
􀁺 People can protect themselves from diarrhoeal disease and other infections if they have the information they
need and if they are encouraged to make changes in their hygiene behavior.
􀁺 Hygiene education of mothers to ensure that young children get a good start in life is a key component in many
countries.
