Sanitation

Saksham Parivartan believes that access to proper sanitation and hygiene is a fundamental human right. Yet, millions of people in India lack access to clean and safe sanitation facilities, leading to dire consequences for health, dignity, and overall well-being. We are dedicated to improving sanitation and hygiene conditions for vulnerable communities. We work tirelessly to create sustainable solutions that can make a significant impact on public health and empower individuals to lead healthier lives.
We arrange for awareness campaigns in schools and colleges to create awareness about sanitation and hygiene.

Health

We also believe that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental human right. Yet, millions of people in India struggle to access essential medical services, leading to unnecessary suffering and preventable loss of lives. We are committed to ensuring health for all, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location. We work tirelessly to provide healthcare solutions, promote preventive care, and support those most in need.

The Impact of Sanitation and Hygiene

Sanitation and hygiene play a critical role in improving lives and communities:

  • Health and Disease Prevention: Access to clean sanitation facilities reduces the spread of waterborne diseases and improves overall community health.
  • Dignity and Empowerment: Sanitation facilities uphold human dignity, especially for women and girls, enabling them to lead a life with privacy and respect.
  • Education and Economic Growth: Improved hygiene practices lead to reduced school absenteeism and increased productivity, contributing to economic development.

The Impact of Quality Healthcare

Quality healthcare has a profound impact on individuals and communities:

  • Improved Well-being: Access to healthcare ensures early detection and treatment of illnesses, promoting overall well-being.
  • Empowerment: When people are healthy, they can pursue education, work, and lead fulfilling lives.
  • Community Resilience: Healthy communities are better equipped to overcome challenges and thrive, even in the face of adversity.

Ek Kadam Swachata Ki Or

Jagrukta– Under “Jagrukta”, we create awareness amongst the young citizens about the importance of sanitation & Hygiene.
Under this program, awareness campaigns are arranged in schools and colleges. We at Saksham Parivartan believe that children are the foundation of tomorrow. They are the future of our nation, if they are given the right lessons, they in the process will write the future of an economically developed nation.

Gandhiji once said “Cleanliness is more important than independence. We believe awareness campaigns about sanitation and cleanliness will bring in a positive change in the society. According to an independent survey we found that kids in the marginalized society are unaware of the health hazards that follow when we do not follow basic hygiene practices like washing our hands and feet before eating food. Thus Program “JAGRUKTA” was launched in 2014.

Our Volunteers visited vernacular medium school across all districts in Maharashtra and spoke to them about the benefits of practicing hygiene. After the astounding success of the program in Maharashtra, the same was launched in Odisha in 2018 and is continuing till date. Hopefully this program can bring in more changes in times to come.

Under JAGRUKTA we visited slums spoke about the benefits of sanitation and cleanliness. Kudos to the volunteers for cleaning slums on weekly basis in spite of all the resistance from the said society. Any change takes time and for them to accept the change took a lot of time.

Buildings were cleaned and tons of Garbage removed. Dustbins were distributed so as to spread awareness amongst the communities.

Under our JAGRUKTA Mission we have distributed around 2 lakh dustbins across Odisha and Maharashtra. Lanes and by lanes are being cleaned and households are being requested to use separate dustbins for dry and wet waste.

Our volunteers with the help of local organizations are relentlessly working to keep the cities clean.
