Breathe Free: Unmask the Truth Campaign – Makes a Mark on World No Tobacco Day 31st May 2023

Trinity Care Foundation joins forces with BMRCL and Oral Health Experts to raise awareness, promote empathy, and ignite a call to action against the harmful effects of tobacco.

Bangalore, 31-05-2023 – Trinity Care Foundation, in collaboration with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) and health experts, conducted a groundbreaking campaign on World No Tobacco Day, Wednesday, 31st May. Under the theme “Breathe Free: Unmask the Truth,” this long and elaborate campaign aimed to shed light on the devastating consequences of tobacco consumption, urging individuals to take proactive steps towards a tobacco-free world.

The campaign was carried out at two strategically chosen locations, the Cubbon Park Metro Station and Majestic Metro Station in Bangalore City to maximize its reach and impact, where the bustling crowds provided an ideal platform to engage with the public and disseminate vital information. Trinity Care Foundation’s dedicated team of volunteers, along with BMRCL officials and health experts, joined forces to create a memorable experience for metro users. Tobacco consumption remains a global public health challenge, affecting millions of lives and posing a significant threat to public health, especially among young people.

Recognizing the urgency to address this issue, Trinity Care Foundation, a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to transforming lives through healthcare interventions, took the lead in organizing this impactful campaign.

The campaign, spanning throughout the day, witnessed an overwhelming response from the public. Many metro users availed themselves of the informational leaflets and actively interacted with our team, showing great enthusiasm and concern for the cause. This successful campaign effectively conveyed the message that the consumption of tobacco in any form can pose a serious threat to public health, especially the health of young people.

Mr. Binu Varghese, Director of Trinity Care Foundation, expressed his gratitude to BMRCL and the health experts for their invaluable support and dedication in realizing the campaign’s objectives. Also thanked the metro users who actively participated in the campaign, demonstrating their commitment to building a healthier, tobacco-free society. He stated, “Breathe Free: Unmask the Truth campaign aimed to create awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco and inspire individuals to make informed choices. The overwhelming response we received today demonstrates that our efforts have resonated with the public. Together, we can bring about a tobacco-free future and safeguard the health of our community.”

The campaign employed a multi-faceted approach to convey the dangers associated with tobacco consumption. Through engaging posters, interactive sessions, and one-on-one conversations, the team emphasized the detrimental impact of tobacco on various aspects of health, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and the increased risk of cancer.

Dr. Pramila, a prominent Oral health expert and campaign volunteer, highlighted the significance of raising awareness on World No Tobacco Day. “Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable diseases and premature deaths worldwide. By conducting campaigns like ‘Breathe Free: Unmask the Truth,’ we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and protect their health,” she said.

The collaboration between Trinity Care Foundation, BMRCL, and Oral health experts exemplified the power of partnerships in driving meaningful change. By uniting their expertise and resources, the campaign successfully created a platform for dialogue and education, encouraging individuals to reflect on their tobacco habits and take proactive steps towards healthier choices. By leveraging the extensive reach and influence of BMRCL’s metro stations, the campaign reached a diverse audience, including commuters, students, and working professionals. The success of the “Breathe Free: Unmask the Truth” campaign on World No Tobacco Day has inspired Trinity Care Foundation and its partners to further intensify their efforts to combat the tobacco epidemic. The organization plans to continue working in synergy with BMRCL and health experts to organize similar initiatives that foster awareness, and a call to action against tobacco, it vows to continue its tireless efforts in advocating for public health and driving transformative change in society.

Dr. Tony Verghese Thomas., the Managing Trustee for Trinity Care Foundation, emphasized the importance of raising awareness and taking collective action against tobacco. He said, “Breathe Free: Unmask the Truth campaign aimed to break the shackles of ignorance and apathy surrounding tobacco consumption. By engaging with the community and providing accurate information, we aspire to inspire individuals to prioritize their health and make choices that will enable them to lead a smoke-free life.”

Corporate Social Responsibility is a management concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders. CSR is generally understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives (“Triple-Bottom-Line- Approach”), while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders. In this sense it is important to draw a distinction between CSR, which can be a strategic business management concept, and charity, sponsorship’s or philanthropy. Even though the latter can also make a valuable contribution to poverty reduction, will directly enhance the reputation of a company and strengthen its brand, the concept of CSR clearly goes beyond that.

Cleft Info: The birth rate in India for cleft deformities is a staggering 1 in every 700 infants born . In a country like India where a large portion of the rural population still believes in superstitions, people consider children with cleft lip deformity to be bad luck and some even consider them cursed. They are often forbidden from attending school, playing with other children and even barred from leaving their homes. The project will help cleft children to go to school with confidence and self-esteem after their surgeries and treatments. The children will have less chances of getting bullied and traumatized. The families of these children will have confidence to bring up their Cleft children.

Sight test and glasses could dramatically improve the lives of 150 million people with poor vision

By admin

On August 17, 2016

In Public Health

A simple sight test and eyeglasses or contact lenses could make a dramatic difference to the lives of more than 150 million people who are suffering from poor vision. Children fail at school, adults are unable to work and families are pushed into poverty as a result of uncorrected visual impairment.

ON 12 October 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) has released new global estimates which, for the first time, reveal that 153 million people around the world have uncorrected refractive errors (more commonly known as near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism). Refractive errors can be easily diagnosed, measured and corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses, yet millions of people in low and middle income countries do not have access to these basic services.

$Refractive errors bangalore schools$

Without appropriate optical correction, millions of children are losing educational opportunities and adults are excluded from productive working lives, with severe economic and social consequences. Individuals and families are frequently pushed into a cycle of deepening poverty because of their inability to see well. At least 13 million children (age 5 to 15) and 45 million working-age adults (age 16 to 49) are affected globally. Fully 90% of all people with uncorrected refractive errors live in low and middle income countries.

“These results reveal the enormity of the problem,” said Dr Catherine Le Galès-Camus, WHO Assistant Director-General, Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health. “This common form of visual impairment can no longer be ignored as a target for urgent action.”

Correction of refractive errors is a simple and cost-effective intervention in eye care,” said Dr Serge Resnikoff, Coordinator of WHO’s Chronic Disease Prevention and Management unit. “Now that we know the extent of the problem of uncorrected refractive errors, especially in low and middle income countries, we must re-double our efforts to ensure that every person who needs help is able to receive it.”

Source http://www.who.int/blindness/causes/en/

Corporate Social Responsibility eye care

Refractive errors occur when the eye is not able to correctly focus images on the retina. The result is blurred vision, which is sometimes so severe that it creates functional blindness for affected individuals.

The three most common refractive errors are:

Myopia (nearsightedness) – this is difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly.
Hyperopia also known as Hypermetropia (farsightedness) – this is difficulty is seeing close objects clearly.
Astigmatism – This is distorted vision resulting from an irregularly curved cornea.

In general, These projects reach populations who are underserved or who have limited or no access to eye health care services. The program funds high-quality, sustainable projects that deliver eye care services, develop infrastructure, train personnel and/or provide rehabilitation and education in underserved communities.
You could start Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives for your Company in association with us. Such healthcare projects will make CSR contribution targeted, making them simple to execute as turnkey CSR projects. ‘Promoting healthcare’ is an area identified under schedule VII of the Companies Act 2013 that is eligible to receive CSR funding either directly or through an implementing agency that has a track record.
