Health package handover for distribution

After brainstorming for two days and talking to experts, we learnt that one of the major challenges after an earthquake is mitigating the risk of an epidemic outbreak. People living in temporary  shelters without access to proper sanitation or hygiene is the major cause for this.

Kehi Garoun, along with a group of enthusiastic volunteers, have come up with a plan to address this concern.

•  Identification of affected areas where health and sanitation issues might arise.
•  Procure necessary items to improve current conditions.
•  Divide items as per the requirement of different shelters.
•  Help in the distribution of items to people in shelters.

We learnt that the Need Assessment has been carried out by Nepal Public Health Association (NEPHA).  The biggest challenge faced is distribution of items.  Thus, we have focused primarily on:

• Procurement of items required.
• Packaging of items into Family Packs, Women Supplementary Packs and Baby Supplementary Packs.

Family Packs include:

• Toothbrush - 4pcs
• Toothpaste - 1 pc
• Toilet Paper - 2 pcs
• Masks - 4 pcs
• Cetamol  - 1 strip
• Jeevan Jal (rehydrating fluid) - 3  pkts
• Handiplast - 3 pcs
• Soap - 1 pc

Women Supplementary Packs Includes:

• Sanitary Pad - 1 Pkt
• Undergarments - 1 Pc

Baby Supplementary Packs Includes:

• Baby Wipes - 1 Pc
• Baby Nappies - 7 Pcs

We distributed 850 sanitary packs in first three days. We have lots of demand  coming up in the next few days. We ask all of our friends of KG to support our Sanitation Program.
