Personal Hygiene and Grooming

On 29th September, ​Nithya from IMPA Chennai conducted a session on Personal Hygiene and Grooming for a group of girl students in the age group of 12 to 16 years. ​The session was conducted for The Rainbow Home​. The Rainbow Home secures the basic rights of the girl child through guaranteed education, nutrition, clothing, health care, recreation, love and support to ensure their reintegration into mainstream India society. The girls are enrolled in regular school and age-appropriate classes, usually after a short period of remedial teaching as well as by a wide volunteer base and programs with children/students in more privileged schools.

The Rainbow Program also acts as a catalyst in the community, encouraging other school drop-outs and poor children from nearby slums and shanties to attend school without fear of stigma.
