Nutrition & Hygiene

"Prevention is better than cure.“ Hygiene and Nutrition awareness play very important role to aware people that by practicing basic healthy habits, they can avoid to falling sick. OFINS took the initiative of introducing Hygiene and Nutrition awareness program to educate rural India and make them aware of how to take proper care of their health and nutrition. Hygiene programme is focused towards addressing issues of personal health care, vaccination, hygiene, illness prevention etc. We have conducted various activities based on school children in number of schools. The children were sensitized about the importance of washing their hands before and after eating, how to clean teeth, importance of sports and daily exercise. We initiate door-to-door campaign to spread health awareness in rural area. On the other side Most of the village children suffer with malnutrition which prevents children from reaching their full physical and mental potential. Due to any reason (like geographical location, availability, financial inability, food security) malnutrition flourished mainly with children. Our initiative target to aware people how to overcome from this.
