Community Awareness Programs

Cosmo Foundation organizes a series of awareness programs on health, hygiene, cleanliness, environmental sustainability, and entrepreneurship with rural students, teachers, parents, and key functionaries. It aims to promote awareness which leads to social change and improves quality of life. This is achieved by employing interactive & engaging methods like puppet shows, drawing competitions, wall paintings, and Swachh School competitions, environmental rallies, Green and Clean Village campaigns etc.

Menstrual Hygiene and Reproductive Health Awareness

This training program aims to educate rural women on the importance of menstrual & reproductive health. We organize regular training sessions for adolescent girls and their mothers. Eminent lady doctors conduct these sessions through a series of audio-visual and question-answer rounds.

Mother’s Health Care & Nutrition Awareness

This program aims to guide rural women on nutrition and diet, which otherwise often gets neglected in day-to-day chores. Rural societies fail to understand that the health of the entire family depends on the mother as, in most Indian households, she determines how food is to be cooked & served. Considering mothers as the focal point of a community’s health, Cosmo Foundation conducts awareness programs by professional clinical nutritionists. We also conduct webinars on the same topic for Balmitras to spread this knowledge in the community at large.

Village Cleanliness Awareness Programs

Through this program, we aim to further the Indian PM’s Swachh Bharat campaign and bring about behavioral changes in the rural sector to ensure that proper health & hygiene practices are followed. We conduct a series of training sessions that educate rural students on maintaining hygiene in school premises, correct use of toilets, and ensuring cleanliness during mid-day meals. This is achieved by employing interactive & engaging methods like puppet shows, drawing competitions, wall paintings, and Swachh School competitions.

Safe Touch - Unsafe Touch

This program aims to build awareness & support the GOI’s initiative towards the Protection of Children against any act of Sexual Offence. In this context, we conduct training sessions by professionals for different target groups like Cosmo teachers, Aanganwadi workers, and local women on ‘Safe Touch—Unsafe Touch’ so that they can further educate their children.

Educational Counselling and Career Awareness Programs

A part of Cosmo Foundation since its inception, the Educational Counseling Program aims to provide guidance to school students on how to set and achieve career goals. Because of insufficient resources, schools are unable to identify and address the struggles of students in academics or provide them with exposure.

Engagement with Parents

This program aims to create a bridge between parents & Balmitras for the holistic development of the children. We conduct regular parent’s meetings across schools and villages to understand child behavior, personality & family environment. Our Balmitras discuss with them their child’s behavior & school performance.

Celebration of Festivals and National – International Days

Celebrations at Cosmo Foundation are year-round activities that aim to provide positive values, develop respect for diversity and build community spirit among rural children. We plan an annual calendar of social, cultural, educational events, ranging from the celebration of festivals of all faiths to fairs and exhibitions.
