Key Accomplishments
 Reproductive and Child Health care programs were initiated in 20 target villages of Satbarwa block. In the same villages, 30 self help groups of both men and women were formed, to encourage saving habits and thereby improve their quality of living. Networks with government institution enabled the project to provide quality health facility to the target village communities.  The project provides health services at minimum cost to patients suffering from malaria. This helps the poor to avoid large expenses and harassments at the hands of rural unqualified practitioners in the villages. |
