Causes We Care About
Healthcare
There are several remote places in our country that lack access to healthcare. The healthcare facility established under the trust treats patients and issues medicines for free while also organizing medical camps wherever possible.
Around 30 out-patients are getting treatment free of charge at the medical facility organised by the charity. The hospital is headed by Dr. Poduru Krishna Murthy, MBBS (1970), one RMP Doctor and a Lady Assistant. This service runs 6 days a week and free medicines as per the requirement are being distributed to the patients .
Drinking Water
Everyone deserves safe drinking water. The trust has taken over the “Nandi Foundation” water plant and proving purified water to the villagers at a very nominal prices. The quality of the drinking water has been improved, ever-since it has been under the control of this charitable trust, through regular water sampling tests and maintenance work at the facility.
Education
To help and support the primary/secondary school students, the charity distributed note books and bags to around 2000 economically weaker students in SivadevuniChikkala, Veeravasram and Koderu schools in the first year. Computer training assistance was provided to the local secondary schools where there is no faculty for computer training. Two workshops on communication skills were conducted for the secondary school students and English dictionaries were distributed for the 9th and 10th standard students of Sivadevuni Chikkala secondary school to help improve their vocabulary.
Free purified drinking water has been arranged (24/7) for the Sivadevuni Chikkala secondary school on the request of the head teacher. Also, snacks allowance has been granted to the S.chikkala secondary school for the 10th standard students who are attending extra classes outside the school hours for the preparation of the final board exams.
In addition to this, the secondary school students are examined by the charity doctor periodically and vitamin supplements are distributed to the students who are underweight and suffering from vitamin deficiency related problem. The students are also advised on eating healthy and nutritious food.
