HEALING WITH CARE

Our Health Services programme is a community-based initiative aimed at providing access to health services for all sponsored children and youth. This programme consists of three components: Demand Generation, Nutrition, and Social Accountability. Through these components, we strive to bridge the gap in healthcare and ensure the well-being of the communities we serve.

DEMAND GENERATION

In spite of nationwide efforts towards cleanliness, there are communities that still lack adequate hygiene and sanitation, leading to health issues such as severe lung problems. Unfortunately, in these communities, issues related to health are primarily focussed on curative measures, with limited emphasis on early detection and preventive care due to low levels of awareness. In these communities, many are unaware of the available treatment options at government hospitals and local health centres. Our Health Services programme aims to address these challenges by providing community-oriented healthcare initiatives. By raising awareness about the importance of accessing available health services in their respective areas, we empower communities. Through the Demand Generation component, all our sponsored children and youth are ensured access to our health services as needed.

TELEHEALTH SERVICES

Our telehealth services provide the necessary medicines to support timely medical interventions. In cases where hospitalisation or specialised treatment is required, we work closely with partner hospitals and government-run healthcare centres to ensure our beneficiaries receive the care they need. We provide referrals and reimbursements for all necessary treatments and tests, easing the families’ financial burden

NUTRITION

Nutrition is a fundamental aspect of maintaining a healthy life, particularly during growth stages. In many communities, inadequate hygiene practices, insufficient diets, and improper feeding practices contribute to physical weakness and a lack of energy for daily activities. Gut-related ailments and severe lung problems are common among children in these communities, often resulting in malnutrition.

Our Nutrition programme specifically caters to children aged 2-12 years. We recognise that preventive measures are just as significant as rehabilitative remedies, which is why caregiver’s training is a crucial component of this programme. We provide essential training to mothers, enabling them to adopt healthy practices and behaviors in nurturing their children. Additionally, in the absence of proper guidance and regular growth monitoring, determining the level of
nourishment among children becomes challenging.
