Challenge

Pandemic, in a developing or poor country like Nepal highly affected. People learned to prevent like keeping distance from each other, wearing masks and personal hygiene. They become thoughtful and liked the idea of focus on prevention. But there are health concerned groups set by individuals and organizations that they rarely care about. They think it is not their task. It is important that every individual and family participate and focus on prevention.

Solution

This project will work to strengthen the capacity of 18 local government representatives and 54 volunteers. They think that children, the new generation or the young one must learn. And they will be the people to spread the knowledge about prevention. Later they carry on the responsibility of helping their village communities to focus on prevention. To do that, it is important to develop children to be wellbeing by strengthening their both physical and psychological health.

Long-Term Impact

In the project focused geographical area, since there are no hospitals & proper health services from the government, it is essential that the local focus on preventive health. It is expected that since focusing on prevention is cost-effective, after the health preventive group functions well in several villages, that will get support from the local health post & the government. And having such a group means a good management & partnership opportunity for like-minded health-focused institutions.
