HEALTH & HYGIENE

 Raiee Foundation focuses on the physical well being and  the  importance of practicing healthy habits for the betterment of the community. 

Public healthcare infrastructure in the Kanadi area is scarce. The nearest hospitals are not easily accessible, and frequent physical checkups is not a common practice.

Children, men, and women  with malnourishment conditions go undiagnosed. The importance of basic hygiene is not stressed. Anemia, diabetes, blood pressure, and heart disease are amongst the leading untreated conditions in Kanadi. 

The Raiee Foundation provides frequent workshops and programs to educate the people of Kanadi on various topics to improve their personal health and well being. 

Health Fairs

Health Fairs have been hosted by Raiee Foundation annually in cooperation with Doctors from  nearby cities. Free checkups, medication, and simple diagnosis are provided. 

Children are given vaccines and treated for other conditions related to malnourishment. Checkups include physical exam, EKG Test, Eye exam,  blood test, hemoglobin and pep smear test for women.  

We aim to continuously provide free healthcare access for the people of Kanadi.

Days for Girls 

The Raiee Foundation partners up with a USA based charity, Days for Girls. Days for Girls is a non profit that prepares and distributes sustainable menstrual health solutions to girls who would otherwise miss school during their monthly periods. We worked with Days for Girls to prepare and deliver these menstrual kits for the women in Raiee. 

Each kit comes with reusable pads, underwear, soap, and cleaning instructions. Discussing your period is very taboo in rural India, which leads to many women suffering from undiagnosed conditions caused from menstruation. 

We aim on creating an awareness on menstural cycles, so girls and women will be free of cycle related conditions and help passing on this knowledge to the younger generation.
