One of the most neglected aspect in the largest democracy of the world is health and hygiene of children especially their mental health and personal hygiene. Children belonging to the marginalized section are most vulnerable to health hazards due to lack of accessibility to health-care amenities.
With this initiative, the objective will provide, family counselling and individual counselling for children experiencing deprivation, abuse, identity crisis etc. Our focus is to bring acceptance in the community about seeking help for mental health issues and making hygiene and sanitation priority.
The long term impact will be to facilitate the children of our centre with constant hygienic products and to improve their health, also provide them a safe space where they can share their own experiences in relation to mental health. They will be the mental and menstrual health ambassador for their own community.
