The education of girls is given the highest priority. In Kenya, a set of illustrated books to educate mothers has been developed and translated into French and Swahili for widespread use on the continent. The Bah ' commitment to education often benefits the larger community. In Swaziland, the National Bah ' Child Education Committee developed a successful training program for Bah ' preschool teachers. The program was adapted for nationwide use, and it is now being offered by the government under the administration of the Bah ' committee.
Health education benefits everyone.
Bah ' s in Zambia, Chad, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, and Kenya have organized programs to train villagers to serve their communities as volunteer primary health educators, emphasizing child survival, growth and development, oral rehydration, immunization, diet, sanitation, water quality, and first aid. Most courses train 10 to 30 villagers at a time, with about a third being women. Most of the educators are recommended for the primary health training by the Bah ' council in each village. Improving food production is a major concern of Bah ' communities in Africa. In many African nations, Bah ' women are taking the initiative to educate themselves and to work with other African women to improve their ability to provide for their families.
