SPARSH: Sensitization Program for
Adolescents in Reproductive and Sexual Health |
| |
The aim of this program is to help the adolescents
to grow into mature and responsible adults and to
guide them to lead a normal and healthy
reproductive life. This is achieved by giving them
correct and scientific information regarding
changes in their body, feelings and personality
during puberty, importance of personal hygiene,
sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS, myths
about sexuality related matters. The sessions are
made interesting by use of various games, by
flipcharts, slide shows and role-plays. The
sessions are conducted for both school dropouts as
well as school going youth. This program is
specially designed for adolescents in low
socioeconomic strata keeping in mind their needs.
The program also tackles with the problem of
nutritional anemia in adolescent girls by giving
them iron supplementation and nutrition education.

Tribal
Health Care Program in Nasik district |
| |
This is a new program undertaken by Niramaya to
provide primary health care to the tribal
communities in the Peth taluka of Nasik district.
Peth taluka is situated 80 km from Nasik city. (Nasik
city is located 125 km from Mumbai). Some of these
tribal villages lack basic amenities like roads,
electricity and water and the Govt. health care
centers are very far and not easily accessible to
the population. Niramaya with assistance from
Glaxo SmithKline run two health centers providing
primary health care & set up a referral network
for management of serious cases. The clinics offer
services to people from surrounding 20 villages,
these people sometimes walk as much as 10 to 15
kilometers to get the services. Sometimes patients
come from as far as 20 kms. The total population
covered is about 10000 to 15000. Besides the two
static clinics, Niramaya also conducts mobile van
checkups in two other villages. Health education
sessions on pregnancy related issues like
antenatal care and importance of iron therapy,
child rearing practices, family planning, and
addictions are conducted routinely in the clinics
and in the homes. Special emphasis is given to
dispel myths and misconceptions and superstitions,
which are highly prevalent in these tribal
communities. |
