People's Health Initiative
A collaborative social initiative driven by volunteers from Swecha, ForIT, doctors, and citizens addressing the healthcare needs of underserved communities.
Solidarity With Women Suffering From Anaemia
One in every two women in India suffers from Anaemia. Continuing the initiative we took on this International Women's Day, let us take a pledge and stand together to eliminate this major public health crisis.
With ₹600 rupees, we can support one woman with anaemia tests and the required supplementary medicines for three months to fight anaemia.
"I pledge to support a woman overcome anaemia by donating a minimum of Rs.600 for her tests and medication!"
