next
Amazon purchase. A percentage of every
purchase coming from our site will be donated by
Amazon to CRHP to support our work and mission.
If you believe in
the mission of the Comprehensive Rural Health
Project then consider making a contribution
towards the achievement of these goals. There are
many ways in which people and organizations can
get involved with our work. It is amazing how
little it takes to make a difference in the lives
of the poor and marginalized. The following are
examples to give you an idea of the purchasing
power of a monetary contribution. Your gift will
go wherever the need is greatest or you can
specify your preference.
· It
takes US$125 to save the life of a mother and
child with an emergency C-Section. This includes
the basic costs of materials, medication and
equipment used in the surgery.
· Restoring
a person’s eyesight with a cataract surgery costs
only US$90. A visiting ophthalmologists makes
weekly visits to provide charity services for
poor patients in our project villages.
· Curing
a person with tuberculosis costs only US$60 for medication and other
support services.
· Providing
an artificial limb (Jaipur Foot) to a person who
has lost his or her leg costs only US$50. These
simple yet effective prosthetic devices enable
amputees to resume their work and support
themselves and their families. CRHP organizes
large camps to provide dozens, sometimes
hundreds, of these legs at a time.
· Supporting
the holistic rehabilitation of a person with
HIV/AIDS, TB, leprosy or a victim of domestic
violence costs only US$50 per month.
. It takes only $300
to provide clean drinking water for 10 village
households using Biosand filters.
· For
only US$5 you can support the basic care of a
patient admitted in the CRHP hospital who has no
means of support. This contribution will help
sustain CRHP’s ability to offer essential,
low-cost secondary care services to poverty
stricken village communities.
· A
Village Health Worker’s (VHW) honorarium and
medical kit costs only US$40 a month. This small
amount enables the VHWs to effectively attend to
the primary health care needs of their communities
of about 1500 to 2500 people.
· Sponsoring
an NGO worker from a developing country for the
2-month diploma course in community-based health
and development costs US$400. This includes their
tuition as well as room, board and transportation
for the entire length of the training.
· Poor
economic conditions and famine often take their
greatest toll on children. Most of these children
are forced to drop out of school, receive poor
nutrition, inadequate medical care and live in
hazardous conditions. CRHP works hard to ensure
children receive a proper education, good
nutrition and a better quality of life. It costs
only US$1 a day to sponsor a child. This small
amount covers housing, food and educational
expenses for the child.
· For
US$125 you can fully support one child living in
our children’s dormitory for the 6 month period
while his or her family is migrating for
employment. This will cover all costs we incur
while supporting each child.
These are just a few
of the ways in which your contribution can support
our efforts at fighting poverty and social
injustice.
Apart from monetary
donations you can also invest your time and skills
by volunteering for CRHP. Past volunteers have
found this fulfilling and rewarding. At the same
time you can potentially make a difference in the
lives of thousands of people. You may have a skill
that can be of great use wherever you are or in
Jamkhed itself. If you have some spare time and
wish to volunteer please contact us and let us
know what skills you believe would be helpful. An
example would include helping us raise funds to
support and ensure the continued sustainability
for our diverse range of community-based health
and development programs or developing new
programs to further advance CBPHC (community-based
primary health care).
