Motto: Arogyam Parmam Bhagyam (Health is the Ultimate Wealth)

What the Project is About

Project Swashrit is a flagship health initiative of Prayan Foundation, committed to nurturing a healthier and more informed society. Guided by the belief that good health is the foundation of all prosperity, this project addresses critical health issues through a blend of grassroots awareness, medical outreach, and community engagement.

From combating misinformation around diseases to ensuring access to basic healthcare services, Project Swashrit is actively working to bridge the health gap in underserved communities. Our approach is preventive, inclusive, and community-driven — with a special focus on empowering women and children.

Aims and Objectives

  • Promote community health and hygiene: Encourage practices that reduce the spread of diseases and improve daily well-being.

  • Spread awareness on preventable diseases: Educate communities about diseases such as STDs, tuberculosis, anemia, and vector-borne illnesses, focusing on early detection and prevention.

  • Empower women through health education: Address taboo topics like menstrual health and sexual hygiene, helping women and girls make informed health decisions.

  • Ensure access to vaccinations and basic healthcare: Conduct health camps and vaccination drives, especially for children in marginalized regions.

Our Achievements So Far

  • Child Vaccination Drives: We have successfully organized immunization camps, ensuring children receive essential vaccines on time.

  • Women’s Health and Hygiene Sessions: Numerous workshops have been conducted to spread awareness on menstruation, reproductive health, and nutrition.

  • STD and STI Awareness Campaigns: Interactive sessions held in collaboration with medical professionals to educate youth and adults on prevention, protection, and safe practices.

  • Blood Donation Camps: In partnership with local hospitals and volunteers, we have facilitated multiple blood donation events that have saved countless lives.

Our Future Plans

  • Regular Health Drives in Underserved Areas: We aim to increase the frequency and reach of our health camps, bringing services to remote slums and rural communities.

  • Expanded Outreach on Menstrual and Sexual Health: Special campaigns to destigmatize menstruation and educate young individuals on consent, hygiene, and reproductive rights.

  • Workshops with Healthcare Professionals: Collaborations with doctors, gynecologists, nutritionists, and mental health experts for comprehensive, community-centered health camps.

  • Tailored Health Initiatives: We are developing programs based on specific local needs — such as anemia screening for adolescent girls, prenatal care workshops, and sanitation drives in urban slums.

Project Swashrit continues to move forward with the belief that health is not a privilege, but a basic right. With the support of volunteers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, we aim to build a future where every individual has the knowledge and access to live a healthier life.
