Joy Foundation has been working for women development from long time with kind support of our friends. In our area communities are poor and not able fulfill their need in this situation women are most suffering with different issue and Joy Foundation trying to support them through small project to overcome these issue. During our work we see that hygiene is big issue for the women and girls because they did not have toilet at their home. So Joy Foundation starts working on hygiene with support of GlobalGiving and his partner. With this support we have constructed toilets for women in different rural areas and also give this hygiene kits. This helped the women and young girls a lot. This not only helped women but it also stopped the issue of open defecation, which was very beneficial for environmental hygiene and sanitation. The supported families were also given awareness sessions on the safe use of these toilets, the importance of toilets, the harms that open defecation can cause and the benefits of toilets for women and girls. We will continue this work and keep targeting the rural areas where open defecation is still a norm for people and safety of women and girls is not considered important.
This time we build some more toilets and also targeted the young girls with hygiene kits which included items for personal hygiene. This kit will help these girls to practice safe hygiene practices. Before the distribution of hygiene kits, these women and girls were given awareness session on the utilization of the hygiene products and why the hygiene is important for the safety and health of women and girls. These practices will not only keep you healthy but will also impart a great deal of knowledge to other family members as well so that they can also start practicing these hygiene measures.
We request all our friends and support of this project please continue your support so that we continue support the poor women and girls in our areas.
