REPLICATING THE SUCCESS OF SUKARYA
For the last 20 years Sukarya has been working on the Maternal and child health services which are essential for the overall development of the mother and child by promoting healthy living and preventive measures for a better health. All the programs aim at reducing maternal and child mortality and morbidity rates prevent malnutrition and anemic conditions amongst women and children. We achieve this by organizing health clinics in the slums and villages which is the key foundation works of the organization. The objective is to provide affordable, reliable and efficient services to the target people. Key services includes diagnosis, treatment, medicine disbursement, counseling, distribution of nutrition supplements, referral services and follow-ups.
Sukarya has also been implementing programs that bridge the gap by providing healthcare facilities amongst the vulnerable section of the society. One of the key strategies is to club the health clinic with the government's routine immunization and provide health access to the community under one roof.
Nutrition supplement, Nutrition awareness & Cooking demo is one way where the projects meet its goals in improving the health of the mother and child in the slums and rural areas.
To promote and support the livelihood of the women in the rural areas we are running Self Help Groups (SHG). The women form a group consisting of 10-20 individuals come together for saving and internally helping each other in the time of need. The women in the SHG's are trained and made to take independent decisions for the finances and life. They are motivated to stay healthy and economically independent and socially confident.
