Programme 02 of 04

Health & Wellness

Most illness in our wards is not untreatable. It is undetected.

Kinds of health camps

Free

Every camp, every screening

Girls

Pad distribution in schools

We organise free medical camps in partnership with local doctors, hospitals and civic health workers — eye, dental and general check-ups held where women already gather, so attending does not cost a day's wage.

Around the camps we run continuous awareness work on menstrual hygiene, anaemia, nutrition and mental health, and distribute sanitary pads to school girls so that periods stop being a reason to miss class.
