Healthcare & Health Education
Integrated with Mahila Mandals and Adult Literacy Classes, our basic primary healthcare and health education program provides women with the tools to keep themselves and their families healthy. They gain the opportunity to consult with healthcare professionals about such issues as nourishment, hygiene, first aid and medications.

Our other health-related activities include:

•  Training and mentoring health educators and primary healthcare workers.
•  Supporting malnourished children from selected communities with intensive healthcare treatment.
•  Conducting health-education seminars, peer-education programs and community-health awareness camps on topics of concern.
•  Leading intensive body-awareness and family-planning sessions for adolescent girls.
•  Helping arrange for eye surgery for individuals suffering from cataracts (Eyes for Literacy program).
