Sakshi marked World Health Day on Saturday, April 7, with a Health and Hygiene Camp for girl pupils from our Remedial Education Centres. Activities included:
-
Health check-up with provision of medicines.
-
Drawing competition on "A Healthy Life. This is an example of our "Joyful Learning" approach to teaching. We teach students health and hygiene through interesting acitivites like role play, song, drawing etc, so pupils engage with the subject and truly internalize the learning. They also realize learning can be fun and develop a lifelong instinct for it.

Talk on Health, Hygiene & Sanitation: its importance and how to maintain it in slums.
Our holistic development model: The Health & Hygiene Camp was attended by girl pupils from our Remedial Education Centres. This exemplifies Sakshi's holistic development model and our core belief that Education, Health and Community Development are together needed for sustainable development.
Through our various projects, we map out a comprehensive path from poverty to prosperity and make sure a child that has once come into our fold has everything he or she needs to lead a successful life including education, health, employable skills, values and life skills, motivation and parental and community support.
