Health Camp at Manav Sewa
Starting this fiscal year (2079/80), WorldLink Communications Ltd. has centered its CSR activities around 4 different Sustainable Development Goals. Among them, one is SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities. As WorldLink Communications has been working closely to address the needs of Manavsewa Ashram for over 4 years now, the CSR team has decided to continue the support as it contributes to reducing inequalities on some levels.
The Manav Sewa Ashram is solely a non-profit social organization founded in Makwanpur district, Hetauda, on 29 August 2012, dedicated to making Nepal a ‘street people free country’ by helping the most vulnerable, impoverished, disabled, homeless, physically weak, or mentally or psychologically challenged people who are forced to live miserable lives in the open sky street-banks and public places.
While conducting a need assessment at Manavsewa Ashram, the CSR team found out that the residents of the Ashram have been deprived of basic and extensive health care facilities. Hence, WorldLink Communications decided to take a step forward to tackle this particular issue and provide health care facilities on a monthly basis to whichever center is urgently in need of care.
Objectives:
- Provide sustainable service in order to address the alarming needs of the Ashram
- Contribute to reducing inequalities in terms in terms of health care facility
The Health Camp is taking place on the first Saturday of each Nepali month. WorldLink Communications Ltd. has collaborated with Stupa Health Care Center Co-operative Limited in order to provide health care services to the residents of Ashram. So far, a total of over 200 senior citizens directly benefited through health screening through 5 different Health Camps in 4 different locations around Kathmandu Valley.
