In today's fast-changing world, many people still live in poor conditions, especially in urban slums. Children suffer the most as they grow up without proper food, clean water, or medical care. At SRSHTI (Sardar Ranjodh Singh Health and Training Initiative), we have taken a strong step forward to help these children and families live healthier lives. Our mission is simple — to bring hope, health, and healing to those who need it most.

1. What is the Slum Communities Health Initiative Program?

Slum Communities Health Initiative

The Slum Communities Health Initiative Program by SRSHTI is focused on providing free medical care to children and families living in slums and backward areas. These places often lack clean drinking water, toilets, and medical facilities. As a result, children suffer from infections, diseases, and malnutrition. Our goal is to change that one family at a time.

We believe that healthcare is a right, not a luxury. Through this program, we are reaching out to those who have been ignored and giving them the care they deserve.

2. Where We Work

We work in Dehradun and nearby regions, especially in slums, roadside shelters, and villages where healthcare services are missing. Our mobile teams visit these areas to provide:

  • Free health check-ups
  • Medicines and first aid
  • Special care for children and women
  • Support for emergency hospital admissions

3. How We Help

  • On-Site Medical Care

Our trained team of doctors, nurses, and volunteers visit poor communities regularly. We treat common diseases like fever, infections, and skin problems. We also help people with long-term health problems such as diabetes and blood pressure.

  • Health Camps

Slum Communities Health Initiative

We organize free health camps in areas where people cannot afford to see a doctor. These camps offer:

  • General check-ups
  • Women's health services
  • Child growth and nutrition advice
  • Eye and dental care
  • Free medicines and tests

So far, we have held 90+ health camps and treated over 7000 people.

  • Support for Critical Patients

Many poor families cannot pay for hospital treatment. We identify serious cases and help them get admitted to hospitals. We also provide money for surgeries, medicine, and aftercare. More than 500 critical patients have received support through our help.

  • Hygiene and Awareness Drives

We believe that prevention is better than cure. That's why we run workshops on hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention. Children and parents learn how to wash hands properly, drink clean water, and eat healthy food.

  • Special Focus on Children's Health

Children living in slums are often weak, sick, and undernourished. Many don't get vaccines or proper food. Our teams:

  • Provide regular check-ups for children
  • Monitor their weight and height
  • Give free multivitamins and protein supplements
  • Encourage breastfeeding and mother's care
  • Spread awareness about child hygiene and safety

By starting early, we help children grow strong and healthy.

4. SRSHTI CARES: Medical Help for the Homeless

In Dehradun, many poor people live on streets, near railway stations or bus stops. They suffer silently, without any help. Our On-Site Treatment Drive is specially designed to help them.

What We Do:

  • Clean and dress wounds
  • Treat skin infections
  • Give painkillers and fever medicines
  • Help with diabetes and blood pressure
  • Offer hygiene kits
  • Refer emergency cases to hospitals

We bring medical care to their doorsteps, where they sleep, live, and suffer. We have helped hundreds through these visits.

5. A Small Step, A Big Impact

A child with a fever may not seem like a big issue. But in the slums, a fever can turn into a deadly infection due to delay or no treatment. That's why every visit, every medicine, every health camp counts.

Some highlights of our work:

  • Over 7000 people treated directly in their community
  • 90+health camps conducted with the help of doctors and volunteers
  • 500+critical cases supported with hospital care and financial aid
  • Countless smiles, thank-you notes, and blessings from families we've helped

6. How You Can Support

We can't do this alone. We need your help to continue our mission. Here's how you can support:

  • Donate to help us buy medicines and medical kits
  • Sponsor a health camp in your name or in memory of a loved one
  • Volunteer your time or skills as a doctor, nurse, or helper
  • Spread the word by sharing our mission with friends and family

Even a small donation can save a life. A wound healed in time can prevent serious infections. A free tablet of medicine can bring relief to someone in pain.

Conclusion

At SRSHTI, we believe in the power of compassion and community. Every child deserves a healthy future. Every mother deserves care. Every person, no matter where they live, should get medical help when they need it. Join us in our Slum Communities Health Initiative Program and be a part of real change. Let's bring hope, health, and happiness to those who need it the most.

When we care together, we heal together.
