Community Hall
In our upcoming project list, we have included an initiative to create a community hall that will be dedicated to a weekly free dispensary. Here, underprivileged individuals will receive essential healthcare services at no cost. We mainly aim to address the healthcare needs of the marginalized, fostering a healthier community and promoting equitable access to medical assistance for all.
Medical Assistance to our Senior Members
With the passing of time, we will extend our area of work. We will work to support our senior members, who lives alone or the parents in Nashik whose children are members residing out of city/abroad. We will offer medical assistance whenever needed, ensuring their health and well-being. This initiative will demonstrate our commitment to caring for families across borders and fostering a sense of community and support, regardless of geographical separation.
