HEALTH AND HYGIENE PROGRAM:

The H&H program was the first of the BDS outreach initiatives. This program is

aimed at children who are in their adolescence, hoping to inculcate good personal

hygiene practices in and around them. These weekly workshops encompass var-

ied branches of hygiene, viz., hand hygiene, bathing hygiene and oral hygiene.

We have been doing these 6 week workshops in schools in Malur for over 7 years,

and have witnessed the children applying these techniques in their day to day
lives. In this season, the H&H program was conducted in the months of July

and August 2018, at MC Halli Govt Higher Primary School for 6 Grade stu-
th
dents.

If you are interested in joining the H&H program at Malur as a volunteer, please
