Conclusion
A total of 26 beneficiaries (5 females) attended the Swasthya Pahal camp organised on 13th December 2019 at Budh Vihar Police Station. Most of the beneficiaries (n=16) had hypertension (i.e. blood pressure >120mm/Hg) while only two beneficiaries had high random blood sugar (> 140mg/dL). A few beneficiaries (n=11) were overweight/obese (i.e. Body Mass Index > 24.9 kg/m2) and ten beneficiaries were engaged in regular physical activity (i.e. at least 4 times in a week). A few beneficiaries reported lack of time as the main barrier for not being able to exercise regularly.
Nearly half of the beneficiaries (n=9) consumed alcohol and six beneficiaries smoked bidhi or cigarette though the quantity and frequency of smoking and drinking alcohol varied widely among the beneficiaries.
Details of RISE products sold during the camp: Ten participants (2 female) viewed RISE products on the camp day. They mostly viewed earrings, tiffin bags and t-shirts.
RISE (Research, Innovation, Skills and Entrepreneurship), a collaborative Women Empowerment initiative of FHTS and P.H.RISE, USA, aims to Educate, Employ and Empower women, by providing them skills in research, innovation and entrepreneurship. Under RISE initiative, our aim is to create 500 sustained employment for urban slum girls. We aim to provide platform to urban slum women and girls to not only be independent but also support their families, nurture their dreams, create their own identity and be a source of inspiration to many.
