In our relentless pursuit of community well-being, Chah Foundation

Guided by the wisdom that "Health is Wealth," the event was inaugurated

Chah Foundation's Hygiene Smile Program: Empowering Girls Through Awareness and Support
In collaboration with the CHILDREN'S HELP AND HELPAGE FOUNDATION, Chah
Foundation has undertaken a crucial initiative to raise awareness about menstruation,
menstrual hygiene, and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). Recognizing the
importance of empowering girls with knowledge and resources, we have introduced
the Hygiene Smile Program in schools, fostering a holistic approach towards
menstrual health and hygiene.

As part of this program, Chah Foundation conducted targeted hygiene awareness
campaigns, engaging with young girls in schools to dismantle the stigma
surrounding menstruation. The focus is not only on providing information but also
on ensuring that girls have access to the necessary resources for proper menstrual
hygiene management.
Hygiene Kits, comprising essential items such as sanitary napkins, were distributed to
all girls in the program, with the commitment to continue this support throughout
their lives.
The distribution sessions served as opportunities to impart knowledge
about the benefits and advantages of using hygiene products. Through interactive
discussions, we aimed to create a safe space for girls to ask questions, share
experiences, and gain a deeper understanding of their bodies.
Chah Foundation believes that fostering awareness and providing tangible support
can be transformative for girls, promoting a sense of confidence, dignity, and
empowerment.
By addressing menstrual hygiene and WASH, we contribute to
breaking barriers and ensuring that every girl can navigate adolescence with the
necessary knowledge and resources, allowing them to focus on their education and
personal growth without hindrance. The Hygiene Smile Program exemplifies our
commitment to creating a healthier and more informed future for the girls we serve.
Wonders Of Colour" - Chah Foundation's Heartwarming Holi Celebration
Chah Foundation believes in celebrating festivals with a purpose, turning
moments of joy into acts of charity. In a heartfelt continuation of our
annual tradition, "Wonders Of Colour" transformed the traditional Holi
celebration into a meaningful occasion of spreading happiness and love
among the less fortunate.
Last year, we decided to forego the usual splash of colors on each other
and opted for a unique approach – filling the lives of needy people with the
true colors of charity.

Our Eco-Friendly Holi was a joyous occasion
celebrated with the children from Pasaidan Balbhavan, an orphanage
started by Mr. Baban Shinde in Khadavli. This heartwarming event aimed
not only to bring smiles to the faces of 35 orphaned children but also to
make a lasting impact on their lives.
Chah Foundation, in collaboration with Z.P School, organized a vibrant Holi
party for the kids, complete with music, refreshments, and herbal colors.
The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy as both our enthusiastic
volunteers and the children immersed themselves in the festivities.
However, the true essence of the celebration went beyond the surface.
As part of our commitment to the community, Chah Foundation extended
its support by donating various gifts, providing breakfast, and serving lunch
to the children of Pasaidan Balbhavan. Our volunteers maintained regular
interactions with the children, fostering bonds and creating a positive
impact on their lives.
This unique Holi celebration follows a tradition set by Chah Foundation,
where every festival becomes an opportunity to spread love, joy, and
generosity. In the past, we have celebrated Holi at an Old Age Home in
Koparkhairane, emphasizing our dedication to encompassing all sections of
society in our mission to make a difference.
Chah Foundation believes that
the true spirit of any festival lies in sharing, caring, and bringing smiles to
those who need it the most. Through "Wonders Of Colour," we continue
our journey to paint lives with the vibrant hues of compassion and
goodwill, ensuring that the festival of colors leaves an indelible mark on the
hearts of those we serve.
C.H.H.F's "Voice of Voiceless" Initiative: Nourishing Lives, Empowering Strays
Life on Earth extends far beyond humankind, encompassing a diverse array of
animals and plants that rely on Mother Earth for their existence. The ongoing
pandemic has not only impacted human lives but has equally affected the well-being
of our animal companions. In the urban and semi-urban landscapes where
infrastructural development intertwines with wildlife habitats, the lives of stray
animals hang in the balance.
Read More
The lockdowns imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic left strays in metropolitan
areas hungry and vulnerable to diseases. Unable to find food and water, these
voiceless beings faced unprecedented challenges as those who used to care for them
were confined indoors. Recognizing this plight, Children's Help and Helpage
Foundation, in collaboration with 'Street Animals', initiated a crucial feeding program
in the Kalyan Dombivali stretch of Thane District.
In these trying times, where human survival has become a challenge, the plight of
these voiceless strays has reached unimaginable depths.
Many struggle to survive,
succumbing to hunger and thirst. In response, C.H.H.F launched the "Voice of
Voiceless" initiative, aiming to alleviate the suffering of stray animals by providing
essential nourishment.
The feeding program not only addresses hunger but also mitigates human-animal
conflicts, contributing to a healthier coexistence. Additionally, the initiative extends
to rescuing abandoned dogs, offering them shelter, and providing necessary medical
support with the guidance of veterinarians.
C.H.H.F is committed to ensuring that all
strays receive vaccinations and no furry friend sleeps hungry.
With eateries closed and people confined to their homes, C.H.H.F seeks to make
survival easier for strays by supplying them with essentials like water, food, and
shelter. As stewards of the planet, we hold the responsibility to care for our fellow
beings. C.H.H.F invites you to be part of this compassionate journey, becoming the
'Voice of Voiceless' animals and ensuring a future where no life, regardless of its
form, goes unnoticed or uncared for. Join us in this mission to nurture and empower
the silent, yet resilient, souls that share our world.
