Sickle cell anemia elimination program

As per the report Madhya Pradesh’s tribal districts having the highest concentration of sickle cell anemia. Barwani, Alirajpur, Jhabua region having a high amount of sickle cell patients, and there is a significant lack of knowledge of this disease. It is a genetic disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell anaemia may experience pain, anaemia, organ damage, and other complications. It is an inherited condition, and individuals with both parents carrying the sickle cell trait are at risk of developing the disease. To combat this, we conduct door-to-door campaigns, meetings, and workshops to educate communities. These events include health check-ups and screenings for the disease. We also collaborate with Anganwadi, ASHA workers, ANM, and frontline health workers, provide training to equip them with the potential to raise awareness and provide vital information, fostering understanding and early detection of sickle cell anaemia within these communities.

Adolescent Health Care

The ages 10 to 19 is a critical phase in human development.  Children of this phase face changes physically, mentally, and emotionally. Recognizing the potential pitfalls of insufficient education during adolescence, we conducted enlightening sessions in high schools across Madhya Pradesh. Teenagers were provided with crucial insights into self-care during this transformative phase, covering topics such as body changes, menstruation challenges, understanding sexually transmitted diseases, and a comprehensive hygiene session. These efforts aim to equip teenagers with essential knowledge for a healthier and informed transition into adulthood.

 

Skill Development Program

In order to empower graduate and postgraduate students and increase their employability, we visit colleges, offering training sessions on resume building, interview strategies, and soft skill development. After completing courses, many of these students lack confidence and guidance in securing their dream jobs. To respond to this issue, we conduct these sessions to equip them with the necessary skills and information to boost confidence, navigate interviews successfully, and enhance their employability. We strive to empower students in their journey towards fulfilling career opportunities.

Drinking Water Quality Control Training

Understanding the importance of clean drinking water for people’s health, we organize a training session on water quality control in villages of Barwani districts. In these camps, PRI members, Sarpanch, and Sachiv actively participate, and we make them learn essential techniques for maintaining water standards. After the session, we distribute water quality testing kits to empower communities in monitoring the safety of their drinking water. This initiative aims to ensure pure and safe drinking water for the well-being of residents in a simple and effective manner.

 

Climate Sustainability Program

Through collaborative efforts with local authorities and active community participation, we aim to enhance green cover and promote environmental conservation. The seamless execution of site preparation, tree selection, and plantation day underscores the importance of environmental awareness. Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and community education sessions ensure the sustained health of the newly planted trees, fostering a sense of pride and shared responsibility within communities.
