EHA

During the year, 60 community health volunteers and 52 Dais were trained. The community heath volunteers are now skilled to identify simple health problems in the communities, and to bring high-risk patients to the hospital.

Treatment seeking behavior on HIV/AIDS and RTI/STI increased in women and couples through the various training programs conducted for them. Villagers now voluntarily come for HIV/AIDS testing in the hospital through referral groups.

Self Help Groups and Community health volunteers take responsibility for promoting sanitation in their village. 40 toilets were built and three springs were protected. The communities now have access to safe and clean drinking water with subsequent reduction in diarrheal deaths.

Women speak out for their rights and take active participation in Gram Panchayat. School dropout girls restarted schooling through the literacy program.
