Our Work

Health, Nutrition & Wellbeing

Rukh addresses the physical, emotional and household conditions that affect a child's ability to learn. Its programmes respond to hunger, illness, sleep deprivation, emotional distress and unsafe home environments.

“A healthy child is a child who can still dream about tomorrow.”

Daily Community Meal Programme

Led by Rukhsana Izhar, the programme prepares and distributes more than 1,000 fresh, home-cooked meals each day. It addresses immediate food insecurity while ensuring that every person is served with the same care and dignity given to family.

Student Wellness Programme

Tracks each student's daily wellbeing across four dimensions to identify concerns such as food deprivation, lack of sleep, emotional distress and domestic abuse. Daily monitoring helps the school recognise warning signs early and coordinate appropriate support before problems become absence, academic decline or dropout.

Community Health & Family Support

Provides preventive health awareness, screenings, referrals and targeted medical assistance for students and their families. The programme connects school-based wellness monitoring with the wider health and stability of each household.
