The UN SDGs provide a common framework and language for addressing the most pressing global issues, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and peace. Achievement of SDGs is not possible through the government effort alone and calls for collective action with the civil society and private sector.
Aligning CSR with SDGs
The alignment of CSR initiatives with the SDGs in India is a powerful concept. It offers a strategic approach to ensure that corporate contributions to society are consistent with global development priorities. Here are some key-ways in which this alignment can be achieved:
Focus and Impact.
Relevance to Business.
Global Citizenship.
Collaboration and Partnerships.

Equitable access to safe and effective vaccines is critical to ending the COVID-19 pandemic, so it is hugely encouraging to see so many vaccines proving and going into development. WHO is working tirelessly with partners to develop, manufacture and deploy safe and effective vaccines.
Safe and effective vaccines are a game-changing tool: but for the foreseeable future we must continue wearing masks, cleaning our hands, ensuring good ventilation indoors, physically distancing and avoiding crowds.
Being vaccinated does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risk, particularly because research is still ongoing into how much vaccines protect not only against disease but also against infection and transmission.
But it’s not vaccines that will stop the pandemic, it’s vaccination. We must ensure fair and equitable access to vaccines, and ensure every country receives them and can roll them out to protect their people, starting with the most vulnerable.
Trinity Care Foundation has been supporting Covid19 Vaccination Program in 3 Primary Health Centers in rural Karnataka in partnership with Government of Karnataka since June 2021.

During the First Wave of the Pandemic, Trinity Care Foundation had worked with Karnataka Government in 3 Districts, by providing essential items to the marginalized, medical supplies, PPE Kits to protect front-line healthcare workers. We had conducted Mobile Medical Services during the Pandemic with the Ministry of Health. Visit https://flic.kr/s/aHsmMeiDyx
Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has said ‘India happens to be a very rich country inhabited by very poor people’. It is undeniable that we have come a long way since Independence, especially in terms of GDP growth and economic progress. But, we are still lagging behind in terms of nutrition and health. According to National Family Health Survey-4, nearly 40% of Indian children are stunted. Nearly half of the children are anaemic. The government of both India and Karnataka are making efforts to remedy this grave situation with programmes like the Mid Day Meal scheme, annual deworming programme, Anaemia Mukt Bharat and so on.
It also becomes the responsibility of civil society organisations to supplement the efforts of the government. This is exactly what we, at Trinity Care Foundation, are attempting to do, through our Government Preventive School Health Programme . Along with a team of doctors and paramedical workers, we deliver preventive health care to school children of semi urban and rural Karnataka, through health checkups aimed at detecting anaemia and malnutrition. We also advise medications for common ailments like worm infestations, respiratory illnesses, diarrhoea, skin infections etc., which in turn have a bearing on the nutritional status of the child. We also provide the children with an ophthalmologic examination as well as spectacles for those who have high or low power.
Health Education is also an important part of our programme to ensure that the message reaches home. This becomes especially important due to lack of health awareness among parents in these areas, superstitious beliefs compounding the problem. A paucity of facilities and awareness leads to disregard of hygiene. Several children are more disadvantaged due to their social circumstances. During on the camps, I encountered a boy of 8th standard, living in the school hostel. He had lost his father and his mother lived several kilometers away, leaving him without access to treatment for worm infestation and malnourishment. Thankfully, the school teachers were cooperative in caring for the child.
The importance of preventive health care cannot be overemphasized. Early correction of nutritional imbalances and common ailments positively affects the economic productivity and quality of life of the child as she reaches adulthood. Health education for school children can build a healthy society with a scientific temperament. Children getting exposed to the work that doctors and paramedics may encourage them to take up a career in the healthcare sector. Through our efforts, we hope to contribute to building a healthy and aware citizenry.

Teach the children about the role of food, diet chart and healthy snacks by engaging them in some fun activities and stories. Involve the children to draw their favourite fruit and vegetable and present the picture to their friends. It makes the children more interested to eat healthy foods at home. ● Diseases like stroke, heart disease, cancer occur in adolescent age due to unhealthy lifestyle. Nutrition education is necessary for children to adapt to a healthy and productive lifestyle. It includes listing the food from food groups, ill effects of packed foods, handling the food safely, benefits of calorie intake. ● School children are more vulnerable to diarrhoea due to intestinal worm infection. Teach the children about maintaining the hygiene by proper handwashing habits. You can perform a skit to make children understand easily. It builds a good rapport with children. ● Sugary food consumption like sweets, biscuits, chocolates, soft drinks increases the cavities. Children with caries avoid smiling due to the unpleasant appearance of their teeth. Toothache is the major problem for missing the classes at school. The difficulty in chewing and biting decreases their food intake. Educate the children about the frequency of sugary foods intake, use of fluoride toothpaste to prevent caries.
IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH TALKS IN A COMMUNITY ● Sharing the information at a community level makes most of the individuals actively participate. ● The discussion reaches many people at the same time. Volunteers require less time for preparing health talks. ● Many people below the poverty line, lack the confidence to convey their health issues to healthcare providers. Educating the community in the local language creates a bond with the people easily. Also, it is easy to understand the health problems of the locals and convey the messages accordingly. ● Many women are restrained from achieving due to the exposure to communicable and non-communicable diseases. Improving the health of a woman expands the well-being of her family, creating a rise in economic status. As a volunteer, you can motivate people about the importance of health.
MEDICAL SCREENING Many minority groups are at increased risk of getting ill due to unaffordable access to health. If left untreated, the possibilities of mortality are more in this Covid situation.

This approach is more ‘patient-centered’ and reduces health negligence among marginalized community. ● If you are a future doctor, you gain experience from grounds before medical college by understanding the needs of a community with broader training.
