To aware is to educate is to civilize

Education means far more than learning the art of

reading and writing

You can also light up a shama

Make society aware of all goodness you know

Idea Origin

Our source of idea was the daily observance of the surrounding areas of our residence and of the routes we daily pass from and mainly the image of slums in the city. We had been noticing it for all our lives, but on getting an opportunity we thought of working on it and educating people about it

WHAT WHEN WHERE HOW of execution

What=Hygiene and Health Awareness Campaign

When=End of Oct-Dec

Where= Esa Nagri, Liyari Express, Malir, Gulzar-e-

Hijri, Gulistan e Johar

How=Door-step Campaign

Major Barriers

the least familiarity of targeted places, and security issues of that places

then convincing parents

Transportation availability

Overcame barriers

It was decided that whoever feels comfortable going together to a particular's friend's place they can go together and rest might target their own places single-handedly.

Impact

More on cognitive level than on behavioral level

impact was seen as women started keeping dustbins

they tried to filter out water by keeping cloth as filtrate

and they all attended the second session of awareness

Committed themselves to take care of hygiene

And would actively learn about health

Recommendations

Expand the campaign to maximum of the slum areas

Re-visit the targeted people to improve the impact

Specially children needs to be specifically targeted as they are future of nation

Hygiene and its relation with Psychological health need to be explore and highlight

Make less privileged of society aware of other common and least common issues

For any societal issue

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

PREVENT BY MAKING AWARE

AS

AWARENESS IS OFTEN BETTER THAN IGNORANCE
