Introduction: In 2020, there were more than 5 million irregular dwellings in Brazil classified as "subnormal agglomerates" located near water, also known as stilts. The houses are constructed side by side and there is, for the most part, no sewage system. Pursuing good hygiene habits and cleaning techniques leads to a significant decrease in the incidence of infectious diseases, especially diarrhea, and consequently improves health. Therefore, the activity aimed to bring knowledge and instructions on how to mitigate this reality to residents of a set of local stilts. Experience report: The activity "Hygiene and Health: guiding to prevent" was conceived and carried out by the SCORP and SCOPH committees in partnership with a non-profit social organization, held in May 2021 in person. Following the hygiene measures, the participants wore personal protective equipment, hand sanitizer and were divided into small groups. The dynamics occurred along two axes: guidance in the form of conversation with adults and playful activity with children. With the child audience, there was the development of paintings and memorization games about proper hygiene practices, and with the adults, there was an active search for parasites, infectious and contagious diseases and their aggravating conditions. At the end, personal hygiene kits were distributed to listeners as well as an educational booklet about prevention and local medical assistance. Furthermore, the impact assessment was carried out with the two action groups. Discussion: The activity was able to take a necessary theme that permeates the dignity of the residents of these areas, combining hygiene concepts and practices with playful activities and understandable content. Conclusion: The objective of informing the local population about the importance of hygiene measures for disease prevention and health maintenance was achieved and the participants were able to understand the message.
