Literacy India`s core area is in area of Education and Livelihood, however every year we engage in many Health Camps with the help of Companies & Volunteers. This helps our beneficiaries with any kind of serious illnesses. These serious cases always gets a saviour .
About the Project
Project Aarogyam was initiated to provide access to basic medical facilities to the underprivileged sections in villages, with a special emphasis on students, women, and elderly people. The general health condition of people staying in rural India and urban slums is poor. Every summer and rainy season there is a diarrhea outbreak. In winter there are cough and cold problems. All through the year there is a trend of water borne diseases. It was in this backdrop that Literacy India set up the health project. The project includes direct support to beneficiaries through which they can avail medical treatment, referral services, health camps, regular health check-ups, eye check-up and dental check-up.
