The health needs in the Jawathu Hills area are vast, with poor diet, hard labour on the farming land, very traditional practices and lack of education, influencing common and preventable ailments. Through funding by Help-A-School Foundation, free health check ups are being conducted for mothers and children as a monthly outreach program, (consisting of a general practitioner, pharmacist, dentist and sometimes other specialist doctors) who travel to these village areas on a rotational basis. These medical checks now include checking for symptoms of COVID19. For more details click here |

PROJECT 4: RESOURCES FOR VILLAGE SCHOOLS
Over the past few years, Help-A-School Foundation has supplied books, stationery, sports equipment and class resources for schools in remote village areas. We also worked with local carpenters in Tamil Nadu to build student desks for the village schools. We have been very excited to be able to provide desks, (making classrooms more comfortable for learning), and also to create work for local people as well.
