PROBLEM
Healthcare standards has increased significantly in the Indian subcontinent in last few decades but
people living in rural areas and slums are still living with substandard health provisions.
Considering Oral Health as one of the important part of healthy life, Jyoti Social Foundation took the
initiative to educate families and create awareness about oral health care. As bad oral health leads to
respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis, chronic sinus infections, postnasal
drip, diabetes, chronic acid reflux, and liver or kidney problems. So, it is very important to create the
awareness about the best oral health care practices and enlighten the various aspects of oral health.
“Oral Healthcare Awareness Program” was directed mainly for the children’s of slums as they suffer a lot
due to lack of awareness, uneducated parents and expensive oral health and dentistry services in India.
Hardly parents care to educate children to brush regularly and use tooth paste and other healthy
practices to stay healthy.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
1. Develop a strategy to better integrate oral health into life of people dwelling in slums
a) Making oral health prevention and care, part of prenatal care
b) Making oral health education reach children and inhabitants of slums
c) Develop dental programs to reduce vertical transmission

2. Create awareness and educate families dwelling in slums on Women Empowerment through
our all engagements.

b) Awareness on vocational training and skill development.

METHODOLOGY
1. Conducted small open seminars in slums
The seminar was conducted by the team educating slum dwellers, children and peoples about
Oral Health. Various tools were used in the process:
a) Dental Chart: A dental chart was displayed and children’s were taught basics of dentistry.
A proper decapitation of knowledge about various kinds of teethes and count was given.
b) Brushing Techniques: A proper demonstration of various brushing techniques was given to
all attendees.
c) Informative video on Oral Healthcare
The video ‘Colgate__How_To_Have_A_Bright_Smile’ was played during the event to
create awareness about oral healthcare among children of slum.
Brushing techniques, habits and importance of oral healthcare was discussed.
2. Group Activities:
a) Quiz on Health and nutrition
There was a list of common nursery level quiz prepared along with general knowledge
question that was being asked to children’s regularly at intervals.
b) Antakshari

some fun loving games like poem recitation.

Various others games were conducted. This all games were held simultaneously while
helping children’s brush their teeth.

3. Nukkad Natak: Nukkad Natak on Women Empowerment titled “Bekhauf” was conducted on the

Natak Team Jyoti Social was able to connect and educate inhabitants of Seemapuri on issues of
social injustice and Women Empowerment.

FEEDBACKS
We received full support with enthusiasm from the society and the engagement was successful.
Program was successful with productive and exciting experience with 250 children form 100 Families in
slums of Seemapuri, Delhi.
“I learnt a lot about the lives of marginal people, those who do not have anything to cheer about in their
lives. But yet they never complain. They enjoy every moment of their lives. One thing that I would to say
in the end is that to make India stand focus has to be given on inclusive development. We do not need to
make any special allocations to pull the people out of backwardness but we only need to be efficient in
our allocations we have already made.”
- Rahul Malhotra, Delhi
“The opening ceremony of Jyoti Social Foundation was the first step to bring the change and I really had
the savor of such a splendid event. The event brought to me a sense of responsibility, was source of
inspiration and allowed the me to serve for good. The event connected me to the dreams and hopes of the
little angels who if helped could be provided a better future.
With the blessings of elders, support of all the members, love by the residents and contribution of every
person involved in the event connected emotions and made me feel like a family.
I appreciate the efforts and team work by all the members of Jyoti Social Foundation who always
cooperated, managed and contributed efficiently for the success of the event have built a strong fraternity
and have inspired me already for the next events.”
- Shivanika Soni, Delhi

“The first social drive in Seemapuri Slums leaves permanent footprints in form of my learning. Meeting
kids and interacting with people, what I concluded is “To raise their standard of living, firstly we have
to put their shoes on, imbibe the ways they live their life. We actually need not to do anything huge to
bring a change rather small small efforts can bring a smile to them.”
More than anything lavishing, they are in need of basic amenities for living. They wish our patience,
attention and concern. My birth, will get worth, when after my death, I can proudly face my god and
can claim that, the heart full of love, he gave me, is now all empty because I spread it all to his
creations.
Nukkad natak on women empowerment was an eye opener. My message to my ladies and girls:
“Naari ek Shakti hai, Shakti hai uska gehna ;
Bas ab bahut hua, Aur nhi dukh sehna !!!”
- Shilpa Malhotra, Delhi

CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE PROJECTS
