In the service of cancer patients.

We had been engaged in the service of cancer patients, coming to treat their illness from eastern parts of India in different hospitals of Mumbai. We had observed their lack of guidance, problem of language & shelters etc  in the city. There was no adequate facilities of medicines & latest machines of cancer in those places till couple of years back. Every year lot of patients would come here for treatment. We provided them all sorts of guidance, free volunteer & shelters etc, out of our individual effort & feelings of charity. In spite of  lot of efforts taken to improvised the situation, still there are many many matters to be achieved. We are in process of strengthening the cancer related treatments in those remote places as well as doing large scale of anti tobacco campaign. We too have an aim to establish a very big  & efficient team of volunteers, shelters, food etc in Mumbai for all patients coming here from outside. But to undertake & fulfill such a major job, we need help from all kind hearted people of this earth.

A glimpse of hand rickshaw pullers.......

A glimpse of hand rickshaw pullers' life of eastern India. Their life is full of misery & poverty. Their income is very little to maintain a healthy life. They live in unhygienic situation. women & children are mostly malnourished. Economically very feeble to provide education to their children. Medical help & other basic facilities are also a dream for them. It is a urgent need to support them in various ways to enable to live a better life.

Major concerns.

Most major concern of tribal & artisan societies are child marriage,dowry & child labour. A good no of children have to do hard work like collection of wood & bamboo, making of fine bamboo stick for craft works etc. sometimes they have to work as daily wage labour in nearby towns besides helping elders in rearing animals & farming. SSWCT has done widespread campaign against child marriage & dowry system. It has also emphasised on child's education & hygiene. Many males do work as cycle rickshaw puller on rent. But after paying a huge amount of rent, they hardly can run a smooth life. The aged are deprived of basic medical help. SSWCT has tried to provide them a little facility by arranging free blood pressure, diabetic and eye check up camps etc.

About Tribal women and children.

Part of our research about north eastern India's tribal life, we have found  miserable situation of  women & children. Their society is mainly women centric. Women are very laborious, do all household works, farming and agriculture etc. But due to inadequate food they suffer from various diseases like anemia, T.B. etc. So their child are  mostly malnutrious. Still birth & child mortality is also high. Due to adverse Soc-economic situation a major problem is widespread addiction. we have tried to make conscious about the harmful effect of various addictions.
