Improving Visual Health in Rural Communities 🇨🇴 In Milagros, Colombia, every kid had their eyes professionally examined for the first time 👓 What may seem like a small gesture, a pair of glasses, can change how they learn, how they participate in class, and how they quite literally see the world 🌎 Together with @saludalaescuela, we’re working to make basic visual care accessible, starting with eye examinations, workshops, and the provision of glasses. Good vision is not a luxury. It’s a foundation for education, development, and equal opportunity! 💪🧡 #salud #health #visualhealth #missionpositivity #positivity #ngo #charity #dogood #equality #colombia #escuela #school

Glasses for the Children in Milagros – Better Vision for a Positive Future 🧡 Since last year, we’ve been working with the organization @saludalaescuela to improve visual health in rural communities. In early February, the team visited Milagros to carry out eye examinations with the children 👓 For all of them, it was the first time their eyes had been professionally checked, as access and financial resources had been lacking until now. To start the day, there was a small workshop for children and parents💡📚 It focused on how to handle glasses properly, why good vision makes everyday life, especially learning, easier, and how we can work together to ensure children who wear glasses aren’t excluded. The Salud a la Escuela team also used the workshop to inform parents about what we’re doing with the children and to reassure them that the kids won’t feel any pain or discomfort. They were invited to accompany their children and observe the eye examination. By the end of the day, it became clear that eight children and two teachers will need glasses – some just for school, others permanently. We’re very grateful to have been able to fund this project and provide the glasses together with Salud a la Escuela. Every pair now being worn makes the school day a little easier! 🌞 #charity #colombia #visualhealth #salud #glasses #workshop #ngo #dogood #students #kids #mission #positivity #help #missionpositivity #hilfsorganisation #helpothers

“Menstruation is a health and human rights issue, not a hygiene problem.”
– WHO, Statement on Menstrual Health and Rights (2022) @who emphasizes that menstrual health must be recognized as a matter of health, dignity, and equality. Every woman and every person who menstruates has the right to accurate information, access to menstrual products, safe water and sanitation, healthcare, and to live in an environment where menstruation is viewed as something natural and not something shameful. Through the Niñas Sabias workshop, led by Diana, we supported young girls in rural areas of Colombia by educating them about their bodies, cycles, and self-worth ❤️ In communities where stigma and silence still shape how girls view their menstruation, Diana’s work is essential to empower young women 💪 At Mission Positivity, we are proud to have funded this workshop – because knowledge creates confidence, and confidence creates change. #who #menstruation #health #womenhealthcare #female #period #education #girls #students #womensupportingwomen #healthcare #missionpositivity #charity #ngo #dogood
