Fighting hunger and malnutrition: Is the Midday meal scheme really effective?

Image
In the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which India is a party, India has committed to yielding “adequate nutritious foods" for children. Proper nutritional support is fundamental for children from their birth through adolescence, as it has a profound impact on their ability to grow, learn, and thrive. It is a well-documented fact that chronic malnutrition impairs the physical as well as cognitive development in growing children. The Mid-Day Meal Scheme is a school meal program implemented in 2001 by the Government of India. It was an improvement over the existing nutrition program which guaranteed food grains to children enrolled in Government and Government-aided schools. It has been initiated to address the issue of classroom hunger in school-aged children by providing a cooked meal every day. It is designed to improve the nutritional standing of school-age children nationwide.The program supplies free lunches on working days for children in primary and upper prima

Please Support Our Fundraising Program For Girls !

Self-Defense And Self-Confidence Program Please Click To Help  and Support Our Fundraising Campaign . We would like to start a  self-defence and self-confidence program  for students of schools in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana states. As regards girls, the self-defence program will contribute in their lack of confidence during their periods: their phisical weekeness will be conpensated by acquistion of new skills. Moreover, parents will be more confident and they will feel more secure about their daughters. This will lead to an increment of girls’ enrollment in schools. Self-discipline hints will help out boys boys and girls to be positive and to be more aware on how they can protect themselves. Goals : - This program will provide children with confidence, raising their enrollment in school and being more aware on how to protect themselves. - Students will get different self-protection tips on how to avoid/ defend by potential attackers througout the use of objects or by striking o

How HEEALS implements its WASH projects with origami, the art of paper folding Since its foundation in 2010 HEEALS has a mandate of empowering local and rural communities to become sustainable in Health, Education, Environment and Livelihood Society sectors through engaging workshops,resources distribution and content creation. In a constant effort to improve its projects and find the best solutions to better involve its beneficiaries, HEEALS has recently implemented its WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) projects with sessions of origami making. What is origami? “Origami is the art of making objects for decoration by folding sheets of paper into shapes” (Cambridge Dictionary). The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a sculpture through folding techniques, discouraging the use of cuts and glue. Why origami? We think that active participation of our beneficiaries is essential for a successful project. Usually HEEALS  works with young boys and gir

THE IMPORTANCE OF SANITARY PADS

Image
THE IMPORTANCE OF   SANITARY PADS Menstruations are seen as  a  hea l th, social, genderand human right s  issue . Menstruations and human rights are strongly related. Rights of Indian girls are constantly denied because of menstruations’ taboos and unawareness:  the  consequences are gender inequality, poor access to water, impoverished health and  i lliteracy. In particular, the right of education has been recognized as human right, but in India 23% of women give up school because of menstruation. Women that drop out from schools became dependent on  their families ’  financial  support. This it’s the cause of inequality and oppression which lead to  lack of professional employment  and social injustice. The effects of poor menstrual sanitary condition have a huge impact on infections at urinary and  reproductive  apparatus. If untreated, they can provoke cancer or  sterility .  It is difficult to convey the importance of the issue ,  even because most NGOs are handed by ma
