Health is one of the major issues in slum life because children and adults usually live in highly unhygienic conditions. As a result, they suffer from a range of diseases like malaria, respiratory problems, diarrhea, etc. For this reason, Asha-Kiran conducts Health Checkup Camps in the Community and Construction Site Centers for children and adults as well. Our Health Program runs at the preventive and curative levels.
Our objectives are to
Identify health related issues
Reduce health problems
Provide health care facilities.
