101 Under this program, student leaders are identified, trained, and developed as School Health Education (SHE) Champions. The SHE champions then pass on the learning to their respective classes through planned projects. Through this tiered approach, the initiative’s scope of reach and impact is far more extensive than the immediate training delivered. With the help of Healing Fields, we had identified 23 government schools as part of this program and have, through our support, completed training in 14 schools. During the first year (2018-2019), 247 ‘SHE Champions’ from 6 Government schools were trained. These SHE Champions reached out, educated, and trained 3000 students and 4500 families to develop healthy practices. The program was carried over to 2019-2020 to cover an additional eight schools and continue training and mentoring the current SHE champions. While we have exceeded our SDG target for education, we will continue to support this program by enrolling more schools.
