We spread awareness on covid-19 protocol compliances as well as in the covid-19 vaccination campaigns for the vaccination of 18+ and the children under 18 years (12 to 18 years old children). Our staff/mobilizers/volunteers collaborated in the campaigns that were organized throughout the district Damoh and communicated or did advocacy with the health department
about their planning/schedule and reach at the places wherever the covid vaccination campaign organized. We encouraged, motivated and helped people in fetching them to the vaccination centers. Also we called people at the vaccination place. In order to increase the reach to more population and to generate awareness we had also participated in the VHND (Village Health & Nutrition Day) sessions those were conducted to cover 12 to 18 years children, adolescent girls/boys, women, and men from the remote areas of organization’s Intervention areas. We have also distributed Fifteen thousand masks to the people.
Collectively Fifty thousand adults and children got vaccinated and we have successfully reached up to more than 1.5 Lakh people from the intervention area.
Apart from it, during the visits in the intervention areas people seemed to be in the food crises due to which children had been suffering from the malnutrition and the women from anaemia from the most vulnerable and needy families. In order to provide them adequate support the organization made the arrangement of dry food to assist the two hundred & twenty three children from the identified families and provided dry food support to the families of children approx for a month so they can feed their children.
Furthermore, in order to see the positive impact on children, women and men from the vulnerable or marginalized families post covid and we would like to alleviate their problems pertaining to sustainability in this disastrous situation and want to overcome them from this crises thus we want to conduct more awareness activities in the pre-selected area the activities are such as group meetings, wall writing, wall painting, puppet show, dialogue with children, adolescent, women and community groups from the intervention area.
We link children with education, link their families with government’s existing schemes to whom they are entitled to. We are planning to provide financial support to the children who are deprived from education due to poor financial condition of their family. This financial support will bring the happiness on the faces of children and their family as well as they will be capable to do their best in an efficient manner. We are planning for pre-assumed covid waves because everyone will never love to see any adverse situation or impact on children due covid waves.
Herein we want to strengthen or want to build the capacity of children, adolescents, women and men as well as the stakeholders those are working for the same cause.
