Key Activities

Health Awareness Camps

The Foundation organizes regular health awareness and screening camps in collaboration with local health institutions and medical professionals. These camps focus on maternal and child health, general health check-ups, anemia screening, immunization awareness, non-communicable diseases, and referral services. Community members are educated on early identification of health issues and the importance of timely medical care.

Nutrition Education for Mothers

Prayas Foundation conducts nutrition education sessions for pregnant women, lactating mothers, and caregivers of young children. The sessions emphasize balanced diets, locally available nutritious foods, infant and young child feeding practices, and prevention of malnutrition and anemia. Mothers are also informed about government nutrition programs and entitlements to enhance access to supplementary nutrition services.

Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion

To prevent water- and sanitation-related diseases, the Foundation promotes safe sanitation and hygiene practices through community campaigns, school-based sessions, and household-level interactions. Activities include awareness on handwashing, menstrual hygiene management, safe drinking water practices, solid waste management, and usage of household toilets, supporting broader public health outcomes.
