Promotion of Environmental Education and Friendly Practices through Scouts “POETS”
POETS is the very first project granted by the Foundation. The said project promotes health and sanitation, installation of safe drinking water facilities, massive tree plantation and animal husbandry. Nepal Scouts took the challenge to help in creating wider awareness of leprosy. Leaders and rovers were trained to recognize a leprosy patient and deal with suspected cases. This learning and earning project was a breakthrough for women in a village in Northern India. Around 100 women attended the vocational training for stitching and women started to earn their own income.
