Concerned About the Hygiene of Kids on a Local Construction Site?

Image
All children are innocent. So we as responsible adults, know how important personal hygiene is and how it affects health. Right from their childhood, we teach children about hygiene so that it adds up in their routine as we know the importance of hygiene. But have you ever thought of the children who are there on a local construction site? Construction sites are dirty and are full of materials that can be hazardous for children. Here are some ways to help these children: You can visit any such site in your vicinity and distribute sanitation items like soap, toothbrush, and toothpaste. You should share with them the importance of keeping oneself clean and hygienic to have a healthy lifestyle.   All kids should be encouraged to study in a school and reach out to local NGO schools for admissions, if feasible.  These are the little things that can make a big difference in our society.

The Shared Struggle!

Youth power is India’s biggest asset. Even then, educating and grooming the youth is not our top most priority. The number of underprivileged youth with poor education background is so huge in India. According to the Centre for monitoring IndianEconomy (CMIE), there is currently around 31 million jobless youth in Indi (better fact). Due to the lack of adequate education, proper skills and seeking attitude, the human potential of our country stands under-utilized. In order to conveniently channelize the energy of the underprivileged youth, equip them with appropriate knowledge and skills and advance towards economic growth, Smile Foundation has come up with an e- learning programme called STeP.
