Health and Harmony
Health Harmony was inspired by the need to address menstrual hygiene and anemia, two critical but often overlooked health issues that significantly impact women's well-being. Recognizing the gap in awareness and access to proper care, the project aims to empower women with the knowledge and resources to manage their health effectively.
We executed the project at Somangalam Government Higher Secondary School by organizing interactive workshops focused on menstrual hygiene and anemia awareness. We provided educational materials, demonstrated proper hygiene practices, and distributed essential health kits to the students. Collaborating with school authorities ensured the program's smooth implementation and positive impact on the students.
The project taught us the importance of community engagement and the need for culturally sensitive approaches when addressing health issues like menstrual hygiene and anemia. We learned that awareness alone is not enough—access to resources is crucial. Building trust with participants and local authorities is key to successful implementation. The experience highlighted the value of collaboration and adaptability in overcoming challenges and ensuring the project's sustainability and impact.
