Dental and General Health Check-up Camps
Empowering Communities Through Annual Health Camps
At Dikshya Foundation, we believe that education and health are intrinsically linked. Recognizing the importance of holistic well-being, we have been organizing annual health camps since mid-2020, in collaboration with our dedicated partner, the Worldwide Welfare Global Peace Network (WWGPN).
Comprehensive Health Outreach
Our health camps encompass both dental and general health check-ups, aiming to provide accessible healthcare services to students, parents, teachers, and the broader community. These initiatives are hosted at Shree Shankha Devi Higher Secondary School in Neelakantha-11, Jyamrung, Dhading and also at Shree Bhumimata Secondary school, Bethanchowk-4, Kavre and have witnessed active participation from nearly 600 students, along with their families and local villagers.
Addressing Oral Health in Young Learners
The dental camps have been particularly impactful, especially for primary-level students undergoing the natural process of tooth replacement. Routine check-ups have facilitated early detection and treatment of dental issues, promoting better oral hygiene practices among young learners.
Uncovering the Link Between Water Quality and Health
During these health assessments, a concerning pattern emerged: a significant number of participants were experiencing dental and stomach ailments. Further investigation revealed that these health issues were linked to the consumption of contaminated water, highlighting a critical need for clean drinking water solutions within the community.
Initiating Sustainable Solutions: Water Filter Installations
In response to these findings, Dikshya Foundation initiated a project to install water filters at Shree Shankha Devi Higher Secondary School. This initiative aims to provide students and staff with access to safe drinking water, thereby reducing the prevalence of waterborne diseases and fostering a healthier learning environment.
Through these annual health camps and subsequent interventions, Dikshya Foundation remains committed to enhancing the well-being of students and the wider community, ensuring that health challenges do not hinder educational pursuits.
