Medical help for Semi tribal people living as rag pickers and scavengers on the outskirts of chirala.

Suffering from very poor conditions in terms of hygiene, poverty and lack of safe drinking water, resulting in major health problems such as diarrhea, malaria, TB, anaemia etc.

 On the request of the local society, Shoshana started giving medical help in this area a few years back. Society provided with a room to set up the centre where Shoshana arranged for a regular nurse who takes care of all the first aid needs of the people here.

Visit to different medical projects of Shoshana.

 The medical centres have mostly elderly patients and
the most emphasized symptoms was pains.
Other problems like fatigue, breathing difficulty, acidity etc
Specific diseases were only hypertension and diabetes.

Shoshana has medical centres mostly in remote areas which are far away from the nearest medical access. This help is useful for them especially when they have difficulty in getting even the basic medication.

Loneliness is also one of their problems so usually they spend some time at the medical centre to talk to other people.

We get to know that more people are asking for medical help from different villages.

SHOSHANA SEWING CENTRE, ANAPARTHI.




 Shoshana focused mainly on needy women who are uneducated and unemployed.

 The centre at Shoshana sewing centre, Anaparthi has  more muslim women getting free training in sewing. These women  come from rural background depended mainly on agriculture but  most of them are  not allowed to work outside of the home . The sewing training will provide self employment at their home, can give them a daily income.

The training will provide skills in embroidery and tailoring. Both training and employment help women to become self reliant.

These new earning help them to give better education for their children as well as support their family.

Shoshana is setting up first aid centres at different rural areas and urban slums, which is particularly important for isolated or deprived population groups that may not have the means to access these basic medical services otherwise.

 These areas are located far away from  the hospitals. No proper transportation to reach for the nearest medical help.  Shoshana is setting up first aid centres in such areas which could help them in emergencies.

 The local societies are helping in taking  nurses who are ready to work in such areas where the needy people should be able to get any medicines or services without any hindrance.

Shoshana distributes Sewing machines to the needy women

First day of the visit to the projects along with our Managing Director of Shoshana - Mrs.Martha for this year -2018.


Thanks to all the donors who made it possible to provide sewing machines to the women who finished their training in sewing so that they could start the work on their own.

Some of the pics of the ladies from various groups who got the machines .

It was difficult for us to short list the recepients of sewing machines as so many of them are in need. We choose the one who has more responsibility of supporting their families. It would be their first step on the way of becoming independent.

They thank the donors who fulfilled their dream of having their own sewing machine.
