Preventive Health Care inititiatives

There is a saying prevention is better than cure and we at Shree Public Charitable Trust believe in this. We give equal importance to preventing the occurance of diseases.

To give you a background on Preventive Healthcare,

Preventive Healthcare
Prevnetive health is the science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, public and private organizations, communities and individuals. It is concerned with eradicating the threats to the overall health of a community by increasing the awareness of all the members of the community. In this context

Shree Public Charitable Trust is engaged in organizing periodical counselling Programs and awareness drives in various spheres of Public Health.

COUNSELLING PROGRAMS AND AWARENESS DRIVES

Infectious diseases are still the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in India, and also Southeast Asia region. They are still a major contributor to the global burden of the disease. Acute diarrhoeal diseases have been recognised as the major cause of morbidity, under-nutrition and mortality. Nearly 0.7 million children die every year due to diarrhoea. To prevent
infectious diseases and increase awareness about nutrition, cleanliness, personal hygiene and sanitation, counselling is provided to the under-privileged, illiterate, rural dwellers and women through appropriate counselling programs.

According to the Seventh All India Educational Survey of 2002, 3 percent of Indian children are physically or mentally challenged.

Shree Public Charitable Trust organizes Counselling Programs for specially challenged children like spastics, autistic children, children with learning disabilities, mentally retarded children etc. to diagnose their problems, counsel their families and route them to the appropriate supportive and care giving facilities.

The population of India has swelled to around 1 billion now. We have 2% of world area supporting around 17% of the world population. Also it is estimated that 2 – 3.1 million Indians have been infected with HIV/AIDS so far according to National AIDS Control Organization, India. Since there is no cure for AIDS, the emphasis continues to be on educating the masses, particularly the vulnerable groups about the causes of the disease.

To meet this need, Shree Public Charitable Trust organizes Free Counselling for family planning and HIV AIDS periodically.

Awareness campaigns are initiated for the youth on the ill effects of tobacco, alcohol, drug abuse etc.

Current and Ongoing Projects - Supporting Orphanages

According to the Times Group, India, there are more than 11 million abandoned children in India as per the survey conducted in 2007. Support structures like orphanages are needed on a large scale to care and nurture the growth of these children.

Shree Public Charitable Trust is supporting an orphanage called Geetha Chowdappa Ashram with 130 children in Bapuji Nagar, Bangalore. We provide them with all the necessary and required groceries every month. We also donate blankets, books and other stationery items which the orphans need at the beginning of each academic year.

Volunteers at Geeta Ashram

Our Trust is always looking for opportunities to support other organisations who are engaged in charitable activities. We, volunteers periodically visit different orphanages and spend time with the young children by playing, singing bhajans etc. This also helps us in understanding their needs and requirements so we can equip them with it.

Ongoing projects - Daily mass feeding project

Daily Mass Feeding project

Did you know that every 3.6 seconds a person dies of starvation, and it is usually a child under the age of 5 and about 300 million children go to sleep hungry every day? UNICEF states – “Poverty contributes to malnutrition, which in turn is a contributing factor in over half of the under-five deaths in developing countries. Such is the situation of our country. Many families in our country are living below the poverty line are not fortunate enough to have even one meal a day. It hurts to see people go hungry and beg for foodSo to address this issue, Shree Public Charitable Trust, started this project of Daily Mass Feeding Project in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Bangalore, where free lunch is provided every day to the under-privileged. More than 24,000 people benefit from this program every month.
