Dengue Prevention Awareness and Support for Children with Disabilities
During the quarter on the Dated 21st January 2026 , our organization successfully implemented a community-based Awareness Raising Meeting on Dengue Mosquito Prevention with a special focus on children with disabilities and their families. The objective of the activity was to increase knowledge on dengue transmission, prevention methods, and household-level protection, while ensuring inclusive participation of parents and caregivers.
The session included an interactive discussion on identifying mosquito breeding sites, the importance of cleanliness, use of mosquito nets, and early health-seeking behavior. Visual festoons with dengue prevention messages were demonstrated to make information accessible and easy to understand for all participants. As part of practical support, mosquito nets were distributed to children with disabilities, prioritizing families living in high-risk areas.
Several parents shared their reflections during the meeting. One parent expressed, “We did not know that clean water containers could still breed mosquitoes. This session helped us understand how to protect our children better.” Another mother stated, “My child has a disability and is more vulnerable. Receiving a mosquito net gives us safety and peace of mind.” A father added, “The visual materials and simple explanations made the messages very clear for us.” Overall, the activity strengthened community awareness, encouraged preventive practices, and enhanced protection for children with disabilities against dengue.
