Usually, kids in our region, pull-off the entire academic year with only 2 sets of uniforms (and may be last year’s uniform). They may get new clothes during festive season once or twice (if their parents have come back from work with some extra money). This leaves almost no space for having season specific clothing […]

Monsoon typically brings minor illnesses amongst kids. This results into absence from school and also loss of their study and indirectly better nutrition (which otherwise they get along with their mid-day meal through a program which we run on school days). Children also get exposed to change of weather. Hence, this is the period when […]

Suhrid Foundation conducts camp for health check-up of 650 children from all our supported 10 schools. In the month of April 2023, Suhrid Foundation conducted medical camps for all schools before end of academic year 2022-23. From this session onwards, we had decided to request parents of children to also join during the camp – at least for 1st and 2nd standard kids. This ensured following things:
Parents could articulate problems better (eg any repetitive illness)
Parents could understand dosage of medicines better – reducing burden from teachers and also bringing-in ownership of administering medicines to kids at home
Parents could also be guided on better nutrition and taking care of their ward’s health – for which otherwise Suhrid Foundation used to arrange for separate parents’ meeting.
Main observation from the camp was – need for rebuilding up of enthusiasm and coordination amongst teachers, re-focus on nutrition and health, rekindling of all projects and processes – which were impacted due to lock-down period for around 2 years. We decided to work on this as soon as academic process starts back in Jun 2023.

While having physical setup of a clinic could have been ideal thing to have at each of significant village/hamlet, it definitely is not practical approach to expand. Hence, we came up with an idea of आपले गाव – आपला दवाखाना (Our village – Our clinic) – in which we would have bare essential medical facility being made available with one of the qualified female from the village. She would be trained by us and would be able to help with very basic illness (with over the counter medicines) and also with dressing the simple wound etc. Like our clinics, these medicines would not be given for free, but patients would be charged a token amount. There would be continuous learning process for these health-workers on monthly basis, where our doctors would take their training at one central location. We would be able to propagate more health related awareness in the village and can look for driving any specific awareness drives in future.

Khandeghar Community Healthcare Center – our second CHC, was an unfinished task of our Masi, Ms Susmita Tembe. Though it got delayed due to pandemic restrictions her untimely exit from this world, finally it has been formally inaugurated on 19th Dec 2021 and would be starting operation of the same on 1st Jan 2022.
Masi, when visited Khandeghar in month of Feb 2021 as a routine medical visit, she spoke to teachers of the school and also local village folks about medical facility available in the region. When she realized that there are lot of challenges for them in the region, she proposed to have a medical center established (similar to one started in Kaspada) in Khandeghar as well. with the help of teacher from Khandeghar school, a meeting with villagers was called on 7th Mar 2021 in school premises. We explained the model in which we have established a Community Healthcare Center in Khandeghar. Villagers from Khandeghar liked the idea and wished to have the setup at Khandeghar as well and were open to lend the space for the same. Community hall (Samaj Mandir as they call it), was given to Suhrid Foundation to set up the center.

Suhrid foundation started its operation in 2012 with health care of tribal people as the primary objective. During the last seven to eight years of our association, we did lot of community related work viz reconstructing dams, de-silting river, the wells, infrastructure development for the school, tree plantations, and guiding tribals to work towards improving their livelihood. Kaspada was in the forefront where these activities were carried out because of a better connect with the people. We decided to build community healthcare center in this village. We got lot of support and encouragement from the villagers in the entire process of setting up this center.
