Villages in rural India still suffer from the lack of quality healthcare infrastructure, a dearth of qualified medical functionaries, and low access to basic medicines and medical facilities. Our Health and Hygiene programs provide residents of targeted villages with the opportunity to access and afford health services through initiatives such as the Bal Health Mela, primary care, dental care, Gynec camp, eye care, and public health services.
So far in 2023, we have already served more than 22,584 adults and children through our in-person health camps, check-ups, vaccinations, medicine, and other essential health services. To date, 15,500 children have attended our health camps.
In the past three months (December-January), we have impacted 2,050 through Eye Checkup and Awareness Camps, 1,044 through Pediatric Checkup and Awareness Camps, 737 through Dental Checkup and Awareness Camps, reached 1,365 with Gynecology camps, and 56,644 with Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Camps.
Health camps typically attract 500-2,000 people at a time. These events have two main objectives – provide necessary healthcare services and educate beneficiaries on preventive health measures to promote positive behavior change.
With additional funding, we seek to expand health camps and hygiene efforts to the surrounding rural villages of the Marathwada region of Nanded and the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra.
