Education
Education is strongly linked to health determinants, especially in preventive care. Through our awareness program, we are trying to educate our community about Anaemia and Menstrual Hygiene & Safety.
School Education Programme
As part of the health project in Champawat, we were doing a "Menstrual Hygiene and Safety programme" with an objective to raise awareness of adolescents on menstrual practices and Anaemia, 36 sessions were conducted in 3 colleges covering 1240 students.
Through advocacy with the health department, a camp was organised to conduct haemoglobin screening tests in Government Girls’ Inter College, Champawat, in the school premises by ANMs. Here out of 382 girls, 330 were screened. Of these, 43% girls were identified Anaemic, with less than 11 gm% of haemoglobin.
Gina's Happy Children's Fund
This scholarship fund was started in memory of Gina Ali Khan, an educationist from Pune. She actively guided the teaching-learning process at Aarohi Bal Sansar,Satoli. Through her life, Gina encouraged every child to be a learner.
In the year 2020, we started this scholarship program where we interviewed 14 children in the month of August. Through which scholarships were awarded to 5 bright children of the Shango village in Champawat, for their higher education.
The selection was done on the basis of their academic performance, future academic interest and ambitions, family background and economic status, personality, and other interests.
