YPF initiatives – Overview
Health and Hygiene campaign (H&HC)
According to WHO and other health organizations, it is essential to wash your hands before and after having any meal, which can help prevent multiple health issues.
With the same vision and to save the lives of thousands of children, YPF started health and hygiene initiatives in different government schools. In this initiative, the team focuses on proper steps for handwashing, personal hygiene and a healthy environment.
YPF teams also try to touch the rural areas which lack resources. YPF uses child-friendly approaches as children learn quickly and remember things for long, which are told using video presentations. For this, YPF uses different animated videos and live demonstrations. Teams demonstrate the six steps of handwashing for a better understanding of the process. Team also encourages the use of dustbins for garbage disposal.
YPF believes that these children will further educate their family members regarding the importance of health and hygiene, and it will increase the efficiency of life.
Female Hygiene and Awareness Campaign (FHAC)
With the huge success of the health and hygiene campaign across different schools, health and hygiene 2.0 started on 8th March 2021 (International Women’s Day) with FHAC (Female Hygiene and awareness campaign).
As per UNICEF, only 13% of girls are aware of the menstrual cycle before menarche. YPF firmly supports talking and resolving the menstrual issues still being faced by females in different areas of the nation. Teams help in educating the female students about the proper precautions and measures to take for a healthy menstrual cycle. Under this initiative, YPF teams visit different areas from rural to urban and share the message of a healthy lifestyle. Teams also distribute government-approved sanitary pads and the journey is still ongoing.
This initiative helps female students to open up regarding the problems they face during the menstrual cycle. A friendly and open approach is adopted by YPF in the different sessions held at various schools. YPF teams found that the students are opening up regarding the different doubts or concerns they are having in their minds. The major impact we have seen is that people stop taking it as taboo.
Environment Protection Initiatives:
The environment reflects the life and lifestyle of human beings. Our health and fitness depend upon it. So, it becomes our major responsibility to share our bit towards the betterment of the environment.
YPF team gives proper attention to this matter while conducting webinars and activities on environmental days, World Biodiversity Day, World Water Day and Global Earth Day. Plantation drive is one of the major initiatives. The team doesn’t only plant the saplings but also takes proper care of them by doing regular checks. To date, YPF teams around the nation have planted and gifted many plants to motivate people about the need for green life. With similar enthusiasm, teams also put efforts into water conservation across different states of the nation.
Mental Health Awareness Campaign (MHAC):
Mental health is a crucial yet most neglected concept. As per WHO, globally, around 970 million people are living with mental health issues. This is a high time to take steps towards it, otherwise the day won’t be far away when we will have more cases of mental health issues than physical health problems.
YPF understands the need for mental health awareness and under this initiative. Our teams visit different places: the corporate sector, schools, colleges, government offices and do awakening sessions for them; these sessions include video presentations on the theme and interactive activities. We received wonderful feedback from these sessions about how it positively affects lives and helps society to strengthen their mental health and inner self.
YPF also conducts special webinars on this topic to reach the maximum number of people to make them aware of the importance of mental health and how to nurture it well.
