Health Initiatives
- Periodical screening for lifestyle diseases is conducted and individuals are referred to super specialist hospitals with follow-up.
- Production and supply of High Protein Mix. This initiative was started as a way to help individuals in the communities that we work in, who are elderly or who have had long-term illnesses and women and children who are malnourished. HPM packets are distributed to these individuals on a regular basis and are also sold at a minimum cost to others from the community.
Women Empowerment
Stitch Craft Unit – this initiative was started at Concerns to help empower women from the community with skills and employment. The unit was recently upgraded with new tailoring machines, thanks to the support of Adhyan Charitable Trust.
