- She’s Ambassador – MOGs in association with PVR and IDA
Health education of girls has often taken a back seat globally, and we are not any different. The seeds in my mind tocontribute towards empowering the girls through health education were sown when I read disturbing media reports in leading publications. That was the time I was also the President of M.O.G.S., which since its inception in 1934 has pioneered many educational initiatives and constantly endeavours to act as catalysts of positive change in the society.
This was the time, I reached out to PVR Nest and we together conceptualized “She’s Ambassador” program, which is dedicated to the adolescent girls of this great city.
Through this first ever health and leadership initiative, it is our sincere endeavour to develop the capacities of adolescent girls to act as “Health Ambassadors” within their communities and enact a positive social change on how health of girls is perceived.
