Socio Legal Assistance

SOCIO-LEGAL, MEDICAL & EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE

In order to build the capacities of communities, other forms of assistance are extended from time to time. We felt that this was necessary to create an enabling environment for capacity-building with community-based groups. Such activities include:

  • Scholarships & educational support - to adolescent girls living in communities, and to single and destitute women and members of mahila mandals;
  • Legal counseling and aid - to members of mahila mandals and single and destitute women;
  • Medical assistance, including health camps and referrals to medical professionals – to single and destitute women, and women living in communities; and
  • Relief and rehabilitation during natural disasters – including the deluge in Mumbai and fire.
