Healthcare is also a core part of all our educational programs. In all the schools and Balwadris that CH looks after, a major attention is given to the Health and Hygiene. Balwadis serve freshly cooked mid-day-meal to their children and it is thoroughly enjoyed by all the children, teachers and the staff. Regular doctor's visits, frequent check ups, special eye and dental camps are the protocol that CH follows to make sure that the children learn to live in a clean and healthy manner.
Mental Health Miseries of Minority Migrants, Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Project implemented by Universal Just And Action Society (UJAS)
The prevalence as well as reported gradual escalation of mental health disorders among children and their parents are tending to transform into life threating mental health challenges. It is pertinent to mention that the recent tragic suicidal deaths incident of elven family members of a migrant family near Jodhpur was earlier resident of Anganwa settlement – still the three surviving members of the family are residing in Anganwa. It may have, direct as well as trickledown, worst implications over children learning environment thus would likely hamper the envisaged learning achievements and outcomes of the project benefited children too.
Hence, in perspective of this entire scenario, both CHI and UJAS agreed to provide timely mitigation measures for mental health miseries and today the project is successfully running and has helped families overcome their stresses and aided them to move forward, successfully in their lives. Children of various age groups have benefited from this program.
