SuryaKala is dedicated to instilling good personal hygiene and sanitation habits among school students. These practices are crucial for maintaining health and preventing the spread of diseases. Our educational initiatives in schools include:
Awareness Programs
We organize awareness programs in schools to educate students about the importance of personal hygiene. These programs cover essential topics such as:
- Hand-Washing: Teaching students the proper hand-washing techniques and the importance of washing hands before eating, after using the toilet, and when they are visibly dirty.
- Dental Hygiene: Educating students about the importance of brushing their teeth twice a day, flossing, and regular dental check-ups to prevent cavities and gum diseases.
- Body Hygiene: Informing students about the need for daily bathing, wearing clean clothes, and proper grooming to maintain overall cleanliness.
Access to Sanitary Facilities
We ensure that schools have access to clean and functional sanitary facilities. This includes:
- Toilets: Building and maintaining separate toilets for boys and girls to ensure privacy and hygiene.
- Hand-Washing Stations: Installing hand-washing stations with soap and clean water to encourage regular hand-washing among students.
- Sanitary Napkins: Providing access to sanitary napkins and educating girls on menstrual hygiene management to ensure they attend school regularly without disruption.
Menstrual Hygiene Management
We focus on educating girls about menstrual hygiene management to reduce stigma and promote healthy practices. Our initiatives include:
- Workshops: Conducting workshops to teach girls about menstruation, hygiene practices, and how to use sanitary products.
- Distribution of Sanitary Pads: Providing free sanitary pads to ensure that girls have access to necessary hygiene products.
- Counseling and Support: Offering counseling and support to help girls understand and manage their menstrual health effectively.
Hygiene Kits
We distribute hygiene kits to students, which include items like soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and sanitary pads. These kits help students practice good hygiene at home and at school.
Encouraging Good Practices
We motivate students to adopt and maintain good hygiene practices through:
- Interactive Sessions: Engaging students in interactive sessions, games, and activities that emphasize the importance of hygiene.
- Role Models: Encouraging teachers and school staff to model good hygiene practices, setting an example for students to follow.
- Incentives: Offering incentives and rewards for students who consistently demonstrate good hygiene habits.
