The purpose of this paper was to describe university outreach actions addressing genetic and rare diseases, intestinal parasitoses, and vector-borne diseases. The health education activities were carried out from April to September 2025 in an early childhood education school located in Rondonópolis (MT). The actions involved children aged 4–5 years, their parents, and school educators, using interdisciplinary approaches. The activities resulted in high engagement, involving approximately 40 children, 12 educators, and 20 family members. A total of 24 fecal samples were collected, and the findings supported the development of educational actions and the provision of feedback to families. The outreach activities proved effective in promoting child health while strengthening collaborative networks among universities, schools, and local communities. These results indicate progress in family empowerment processes and highlight the role of children as active agents in transforming health practices within their family and community contexts.
