Meenal gets cured
Meenal, a resident of Zandala village was agonized by boil on her scalp which later became infectious as she was not bought to the Mobile Medical Unit for proper treatment. Her agony was bought to an end through a treatment of mere 2 weeks. Both her parents are agricultural labourers and she is the only child who is looked after by old grandmother of hers who was unable to see because of her old age. She was given ointments to be applied to initially reduce the infection and then was given medicines to cure the boils. After 2 weeks she was happy because now she was able to sleep properly. On being asked by the doctor as to how she is feeling now, Meenal said “ I am much happy because I don’t have itching in my scalp anymore and I am able to sleep on my back now”

Bringing the smiles back...
Rajesh lives in the village of Zandala. This child is 3 years old and was suffering from Boils and Scabies. His parents work in the potato feilds and leave their child in Anganwadi in Zandala village so that the Anganwadi workers takecare of their children. It was noticed by our Health worker who is also an anganwadi worker thatthe child had painful skin infestation. Because of lack of care he had developed boils on his hand. The skin infestation became more complicated because of the Boils. When his father was counseled and told to take the child to the MMU, the doctor noticed that the father was also suffering from Scabies. Both father and son were treated for scabies and other family members were called for checkup and give them the treatment if required. In a matter of 3 weeks the child and family were cured at our MMU.

PROVIDING SHIELD FROM THE COLD WIND IN LITTLE RANN

#BeAnAshray - Blanket Donation Drive
Ashray as an organisation has a history of working for Saltpan workers and is very well aware of their living conditions. Agariyas work for fulfilling 75% of the country’s salt demand & they live in such drastic conditions where basic amenities are not available. It is a region where a cellphone has reached but the basic necessities have not found their way.
Since they are seasonal migrant labourers and there are no permanent establishments so they live in kutcha houses where chilly winds can pass through easily.
Ashray means “Shelter”. #BeAnAshray- A campaign through which this winter Ashray pledged to provide the Agariyas with blankets so that they can be saved from these winds.
Blanket Donation Campaign was conducted on all our social media platforms to collect Blankets and winter wear for the Saltpan workers community.Through this campaign we received large quantity of Blankets and woolen clothes.We were able to provide blankets to women and children of 100 households.
