Nutrition & Hygiene

"Prevention is better than cure." With this in mind, OFINS launched a Nutrition and Hygiene awareness program to educate rural communities about the importance of adopting healthy habits. By practicing basic hygiene and proper nutrition, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of falling ill.

Our hygiene initiative addresses personal care, vaccination, illness prevention, and overall health. We have organized various activities in schools to teach children the importance of handwashing, dental care, and the role of sports and daily exercise in maintaining good health.

Additionally, we conduct door-to-door campaigns to spread these messages across rural areas. Malnutrition remains a serious issue among village children, preventing them from reaching their full physical and mental potential due to factors like geographical challenges, limited resources, and financial constraints. Our initiative aims to raise awareness and educate communities on how to combat malnutrition effectively, empowering them to secure a healthier and brighter future for their children.
