Healthcare Education

Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation activities are extended to provide healthcare education to villagers. The Ekal teacher collects data of the villagers, healthcare facilities, disease incidences and common health issues of the village. These are then reviewed by upper level management teams of the Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation, and a plan is designed to provide healthcare education, services and access to facilities to the village. The teacher is then trained to provide education and awareness on following areas.

• Personal Hygiene
• Sanitation
• Nutrition
• Awareness and identification of diseases such as malaria & diarrhea 
• Maternal and childcare

The healthcare education and awareness activities are done through training camps, showing charts, healthcare awareness programs and health centers (Chikitsa Kendra) in the villages or at the block or district levels.

The trained teacher provides several levels of education or awareness to the children the villagers, and the housewives to take care of their and their families' health. In many cases, the teacher takes an active role in leading the change towards cleaning up the village, constructing toilets, or creating other sanitation facilities.
