This program educates young people on the relationship and importance of oral health and well-being and provides access to dental care and the products and tools to implement healthy habits. Through meaningful partnerships with retailers, governments and other key stakeholders, we have reached over 1.4 billion children and their families in more than 80 countries around the world since the program was established in 1991. BSBF continues to promote health equity and optimal health and well-being by engaging with children and families in the communities where they are born, live, work, learn, play and pray. Our Curric ulum The cornerstone of BSBF is our award-winning educational curriculum. Developed by global experts, the multicultural and inclusive materials illustrate how to maintain a healthy mouth and body and are presented in 30 languages each year. In several countries, the program materials are part of the permanent school curriculum. During 2021, we began to actively align our BSBF educational materials with STEM curriculum and health education standards to extend the reach and impact of our engagement. We believe that BSBF not only improves health outcomes, but may improve reading, math and social-emotional development skills as well. In 2021, as COVID-19 curtailed in-person education, we worked directly with teachers to ensure children had access to t he resources of our program through digital means. We engaged teachers as our partners to learn from them and to find additional ways to reach our audience. We also added the ability to measure the outcomes of our students’ oral health education to determine just how much their new- found knowledge improved their lives. Moving forward, we intend to broaden BSBF’s focus to include overall health and well-being. PAGE 35 2021 SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL IMPACT REPORT
