Aims to reach 1000 economically backward girl children between the ages of 10 and 16 in Tamilnadu, to give them holistic health for a year during puberty. It is the dream of every teenage girl to be healthy and carefree. This can be achieved by showing them the importance of NUTRITION, HEALTH, HYGIENE, SELF CONFIDENCE. At a young age if they can be inculcated with the right ideas and habits, these will become the most important life lessons that a girl learns.
The Interface endeavours to pick girls from 4 schools between the ages of 11 and 16 and habituate them for a year:
• Teach them good nutrition habits–giving them an energy bar, consisting of natural iron and calcium
• Show them how to stay healthy – giving them multi vitamins on school working days
• Tell them the importance of hygiene – giving them a pack of sanitary napkins with a panty every month
• Impart self-confidence by- giving them lessons in safe touch, self-defence and menstrual hygiene
Impact:
Project Shakti aims to handhold these young girls and show them, in a year, a way of life that will keep them strong and healthy all their life.
