• Project Title
  The right usage of Chlorine Tablets.
  
  Background
  Diseases that are spread during monsoon are mostly water borne. Accumulation of water in slums promotes the growth of mosquitoes causing malaria and dengue. Typhoid, Diarrhoea and Jaundice are also common in many slum regions of Ahmedabad. Children are most susceptible to all these diseases.
  Worldwide, almost 1.8 million children younger than 5 years of age die every year from water-borne diseases which comes to about 4,900 deaths per day. In India, Diarrhoea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths per day and 1.5 million children die every year because of water borne diseases. The water borne diseases are increasing among the slums in urban areas; a majority of which are at their peak during the monsoon season in Ahmedabad. Which creates a need for awareness on water borne diseases, there causes, symptoms and their prevention techniques among these people.
  
  Objective 
  Awareness on water borne diseases, their causes, symptoms and their prevention techniques among the slum dwellers through print based communication material in a simple manner which can be easily understood by the target audience.
  
  Target Audience 
  Slum dwellers and Link workers.
  
  Proposed solution

This shows his interest, curosity and attitude of knowing the world around him more closely with scientific temperament.
