Reproductive
Health and Childcare service has emerged as one of the
fundamentals towards the development of any community.
When we talk about the backward areas like Mewat where
most of the women are illiterate, proper education on
health is indispensable. |
|
Focus
: - |
| |
No
development can be sustainable and complete without
at least elementary health education of the target clientele,
especially women who are the nucleus of a family. The
basic education on health, hygiene/sanitation and childcare
is very essential for the overall development of the
rural and backward classess of the society. The need
of the hour is an integrated approach, which leaves
the right impact, thus ensuring overall development
of the target group and health has an important and
a centre place for all overall development. |

Approaches
: - |
| |
Recognizing
lack of awareness in the area of basic health, hygiene
and the acute need for strengthening basic health services
in the area. Aseed has launched two health education projects
of (a) vaccination of SHGs women through ANM under the
EU-supported HFCF in Bhiwani and (b) better health and
sanitation development in Mewat area with the help from
Mewat Development Authority, wherein a large number of
people have been exposed to health education, sanitation
and bio-compost management, apart from providing free
medical check-up. |

On
the education and awareness about health-related issues
in Mewat, Aseed has already gathered a momentun in close
association with the Mewat Development Agency in the
Nuh, Nagina and Firozpur Jhirka belt of newly formed
Nuh district of Haryana. It has already gathered momentum
to sensitize the men and women at the school and panchayat
levels. In the area of breast feeding to children, nutritious
and balanced diet to pregnant mothers, prevention of
early girlchild marriages and hygiene and sanitation.
Tools used were street plays, songs, seminars and training
to animators and school teachers, followed with health
camps. |
