Building Confidence Through Cleanliness
At Dikshya Foundation, we believe education goes beyond books. True learning includes life skills, self-respect, and care for one's body and mind. In that spirit, our recent Health and Hygiene Awareness Program at Indra New Hope Class was not just informative—it was transformative.
Thanks to the heartfelt support of Ms. Leena from Malaysia, and the collaborative effort of our dedicated team, students received practical hygiene education, essential care items, and a real-life experience of personal grooming.
Learning the Basics of Self-Care
The session began with an interactive class on the importance of health and hygiene. Students learned:
- Why regular hygiene keeps us healthy
- How good grooming boosts our self-esteem and confidence
- The proper way to use daily hygiene items
Simple topics like brushing teeth, bathing regularly, and wearing clean clothes became meaningful lessons when taught with care and clarity.
A Shower of Care
After the instructional session, students were guided through a hands-on cleaning session:
- They received support to shower and clean themselves at school
- Volunteers and teachers helped them learn how to use each hygiene item correctly
- Children, some experiencing this kind of care for the first time, felt refreshed, clean, and joyful
It was more than just cleaning—it was a moment of dignity and warmth.
Hygiene Kit Distribution: Essentials for Every Child
Every student received a personal hygiene kit, including:
🪥 Toothpaste and toothbrush
🧼 Soap and shampoo
🧺 Towel and comb
🩲 Undergarments (clean, age-appropriate)
These basic items will help the students continue healthy hygiene habits at home—reinforcing what they learned in class.
Words of Appreciation from the School
“This was one of the most effective classes we've ever had,” said the school principal.
“The team didn’t just talk about hygiene—they showed it, practiced it, and made the children feel proud of themselves. It was a perfect example of learning through experience. We are truly grateful to Ms. Leena and the entire Dikshya Foundation team for organizing such a meaningful session.”
A Lasting Impact
Today, our students walk into class with brighter smiles, fresher confidence, and new habits that will serve them for a lifetime.
We are reminded once again:
✨ Sometimes, the path to dignity and self-worth begins with a bar of soap and a helping hand.
🙏 Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Leena from Malaysia for her generosity, and to all our supporters who believe in dignity-based education.
