The Social problem :

Anaemia severely affects women in India, with 57% of those aged 15-49 being anaemic, according to NFHS-5 (2021). The situation is direr in financially challenged communities, including rural areas, tribal regions, and urban slums, where SC/ST populations are disproportionately impacted. Limited access to affordable sanitary products, basic nutrition, and preventive care exacerbates the issue, leading to long-term health complications, school dropouts, and loss of dignity. For these vulnerable groups, even ayurvedic medicines and nutritional supplements are often unaffordable or unavailable, further deepening the health disparity. This crisis perpetuates a cycle of poverty and poor health, critically affecting the well-being and future prospects of millions of women from disadvantaged backgrounds in India, requiring urgent attention and sustainable solutions.

The Social solution:

The Team DAJI KHARE FOUNDATION's Swasthya Saheli campaign is a targeted solution to address anaemia and menstrual health issues among 2000 women from financially low-income communities over 3-6 months. Through innovative medical camps, each woman will receive a curated wellness kit containing menstrual hygiene products, skin care items, and awareness tools. The initiative aims to screen and treat women for anaemia, promote dignity and preventive care, and educate on iron-rich diets using local foods like moringa and jaggery. By integrating ayurveda-based wellness and modern care, this campaign will profoundly impact lives, empowering women with knowledge and resources to break the cycle of poverty and poor health, ultimately enhancing their well-being, dignity, and future prospects within their communities. This initiative fosters sustainable health improvements for vulnerable populations.
