FELLOWSHIP

The Ladli Research Action Fellowship is a shining beacon in the tapestry of India, where knowledge, skills, and passion converge to craft a brighter future for Bharat. This visionary program acknowledges the immense, untapped potential of youth as catalysts for change within India's intricate socioeconomic and cultural landscape.

Much like a conductor guiding an orchestra, the Ladli Research Action Fellowship orchestrates a 52- week journey of growth. It empowers participants with a harmonious blend of wisdom, capabilities, and a service-oriented mindset. Each passing week becomes a melodic expedition for the fellows as they refine their skills, expand their knowledge, and embrace their roles as change agents.

SAHELI: A Women's Health Fellowship

In the underprivileged segments of Indian society, women often face numerous health challenges that profoundly impact their well-being. Anemia, unwanted pregnancies, UTIs, STDs, STIs, cancer, and HIV are among these challenges, affecting their physical and mental health. To address this pressing issue, the SAHELI: A Women's Health Fellowship program was conceived.

This program aims to sensitize women to these health concerns and create a community of female volunteers equipped with the necessary skills to promote primary healthcare knowledge among those who lack access to it. Selected fellows receive comprehensive training on women's health issues from expert professionals on a weekly basis. This training equips them with the knowledge and skills to become valuable sources of information for their local communities. The fellows play a pivotal role in raising awareness about these health challenges among women residing in nearby slums. Leveraging their training, they sensitize and educate these women on the importance of preventative care and early detection. The overarching goal of the fellowship is to empower young women to become health facilitators for those residing in slums and underserved areas. By nurturing this cadre of female volunteers, the program seeks to address the critical need for accessible and accurate healthcare information in underprivileged communities. This initiative aims to reduce the burden of preventable health issues and promote the overall well-being of these women.

MALNUTRITION: Ladli's Malnutrition Program Impact

In 2022, the Ladli Foundation collaborated with the Delhi Government to conduct a health survey among marginalized students aged 10 to 17 in Delhi. The survey assessed malnutrition using data like height, weight, and age, analysed by the World Health Organization's Anatropous software. The results classified students into two groups: "red" (severe malnutrition) with 351,075 students and "orange" (moderate malnutrition) with 429,156 students. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Delhi Government partnered with the Ladli Foundation Trust to combat malnutrition in government schools.

This program tackled key challenges through three core components. Firstly, it introduced nutritional supplementation for students through 10-minute healthy snack breaks during school hours. Secondly, it provided nutritional diet counselling to students, teachers, and parents. Thirdly, it maintained regular height and weight records to ensure accurate monitoring of student growth. These interventions were meticulously designed to address existing gaps in ongoing initiatives, incorporating elements of behavioural change to foster lasting improvements in health status. By garnering support from the community, local institutions, government, and technology, Ladli aimed to bring about fundamental and enduring changes in the field of malnutrition.

The role and responsibility of the Ladli Research Action Fellowship are central to these transformative endeavours. It involves empowering and training young women to become health facilitators, enabling them to play a vital role in addressing health challenges like malnutrition within marginalized communities. Their crucial role includes disseminating accurate healthcare information, fostering behavioural change, and contributing to the overall well-being of the communities they serve.
