FREE FAMILY HEALTH KIT BY AAHWAHAN FOUNDATION

FREE HEALTH FAMLY HEALTH KIT COVID-19

India was one of the nations hammered hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the state of the country was dire and terrifying as the second wave hit every nook and corner, leaving people frightened for their survival. With an increase in cases and a shortfall in the health-care system, several organizations and the government have come up with a number of initiatives to provide more health-care services to those who need them. The situation became so bad that it touched not only the lowest of the poor, but even middle-class families, with more than 2 Crore individuals losing their employment and wealth.

Aahwahan Foundation is a grass root level NGO works in Health that works across India. The organization works in five key sectors that promote society and people from marginalized communities. In light of the current situation and the unpredictability of events, the foundation has been working with a number of groups to aid and assist individuals in any possible manner. The pandemic has impacted many people's lives, and the majority of those who have been affected have lost their jobs, leaving them in such financial circumstances that it's even difficult for them to afford a day's worth of food and maintain safety precautions.

Aahwaha Foundation Support covid patients

During the first and second waves of Covid, Aahwahan supported over 10 lakh individuals, with initiatives such as supplying grocery kits to the needy, online education for children from government schools, and bringing daily wage labourers back to their hometown via flight, bus, and so on. When the second wave of Covid did strike, we came to realize we needed to help the healthcare system, so our team was able to provide 500 oxygen concentrators, 1000 oxygen cylinders, 900 Covid patient beds, 46 thousand grocery kits, 46 thousand RTPCR kits, 10 ICU beds, and 36 thousand meals per day across India.

During which, things were tense across the country, with the government enforcing severe guidelines and restrictions to ensure the citizens' safety. And, in order to meet all of these obligatory guidelines, people had to purchase many healthcare items such as masks, gloves, and sanitizers, which added to their already high costs. Given the situation of Indian families, the virus has a high probability of spreading due to the large number of individuals in a single family and our team subsequently decided to visit households in vulnerable populations to learn about the issues and problems and the necessities they have. We came up with the family health Kit initiative after referring to their issues and having several discussions within our team. Each family health kit costs 5000 rupees and contains an oximeter, a thermometer, sanitizers, a hundred masks (both N-95 and disposable), 100 gloves, and vitamin C tablets. We were able to provide these kits to thousands of families across India, and we were able to provide them to over 40 thousand families in Bangalore alone. Each product in the health kit was carefully chosen by a team of experts to help individuals stop the virus from spreading and to prepare for the upcoming wave of the pandemic. In addition to keeping the virus from spreading, the health kit will be extremely beneficial to those who have been infected with the virus, as they will be required to adhere to tight guidelines. Along with this, we are offering free online consultations to both Covid and non-Covid patients (15 days Covid package including medicines), allowing them to complete the consultations from the comfort of their own homes, thereby preventing the virus from spreading further.

Aahwahan has always stood by and supported the people through all of the misfortunes, and we will remain to do everything we could to aid people in any capacity we can. Our team is working to provide these health kits to 1 lakh families, which will relieve them financially while also aiding in the fight against the virus's spread.
