Child Aid
We ensure every child’s rights to survive and thrive are upheld. In the month of July / August, we aid government primary school children through Improvement in sanitation and clean water via providing submersible water pumps. In addition, to improve school attendance rates we also provide the children with uniforms, books, and payment for their school fees.
Eye Camp
Periodically every March, July, and October in specific deprived areas in Punjab, we organise free eye camps for the poor people.
The camps are operated by a team from the base hospital visiting a rural site on an appointed date, after appropriate local publicity by local volunteers to encourage patients to come for free eye examination. The team usually stays at the site for 4-5 days during which it performs the free cataract surgeries & applies post-operative dressings.
Complete examination of the eye include vision, intra-ocular pressure, anterior segment & retinal examination free of cost, including medication. Diseases of the eye are treated and surgery for cataracts are performed at the base hospital, after which we look after the recovery by taking them by bus back to their village. To date on excess of 5000 surgeries and 10,000 eye examinations have been executed with complete success and efficiency.
Marriages of Unprivileged Girls
In the month of December we organise a collective marriages of poor girls in a selected region of Punjab, and offer the couples material and financial support to build their future. Basic items / provisions include dresses, shoes, utensils, bedding, fan, sewing machine.
Bread & Blanket Appeal
In the month of January we distribute food and blankets in various regions of Panjab to aid the poor souls to counteract the harsh climate at that time period. For example, in the regions of Patti, Tarn Taran, Phillaur, Jalandhar, Shaffipur, SehJhangi, & Kapurthala we distributed 3000 blankets.
