50 kilometers from the city of Udaipur, the only way to reach Jhabla is to take the early morning bus. Once you manage to get off the overcrowded bus a 6 kilometer trek awaits you to reach the village. This is something that the migrant labors travelling each day are quite similar with. Another issue that everyone is familiar with is the lack of health care facilities for the residents of this village. In Today’s time when science and modern medicines are doing wonders, it’s sadly the ultimate truth that curative health care has not yet been able to make its reach in these remote hamlets of rural India.
Seva Mandir through its immunization camps reach out to pregnant women and children who need to be vaccinated and immunized against fatal diseases. At present Seva Mandir reaches out to over 1700 women pregnant women and 3500 children every year in remote villages of Districts of South Rajasthan.
“I had hemoglobin deficiency when I conceived with my first child. Little did I know the consequence of the situation. If not for the injections, the worst could have been possible”
Rama says -“I was anemic during my second pregnancy and was referred to the doctor. My baby was born in the 7thmonth but its life was saved because of the immunization team’s timely advice. Now I suggest all the pregnant ladies in my village to be vaccinated in time”
There are hundreds of women in our working area who have such tales to tell and this would have been possible with your support. However there are still numerous expecting mothers and children who need your support.
Wondering how can you help us?
GlobalGiving has come up with this innovative idea of matching donations. From Monday, September 21st through Friday, September 25th, GlobalGiving will be offering a one-time 100% match on all new recurring donations up to $200 per donor!
