| Free Medical Camp for the Poor |
Jaibheem Nagar in Meerut city has population of over 10,000 mainly comprising of slum dwellers with an economically, socially marginalized, schedule caste community. The slum is sandwiched between LLRM Medical College on it one end which discharges its untreated toxic wastes in the water supplies and on the other side with highly polluted Kali River (East). There is a gross violation of Human Right to Water of the residents living here compounded by a complete lack of basic medical facilities to help the sick and dying.
The population of Jaibheem Nagar has been reporting an |
 |
|
alarming rise in serious ailments and increased death rate over the last decade. The drinking water sources available to the population are confined as failing to meet National and International standards for safe drinking water due to contamination with a range of toxic heaby metal parameters and as such as unfit for human consumption.
Keeping in view the mentioned scenario, Janhit Foundation conducted a few medical camp at Jaibheem Nagar wherein a team of reputed senior doctors from Subharti Medical College, Meerut visited the slum for medical check up. Free medicines were also provided to the patients after check up. |

| Educational Support to Slum Children |
A slum community is located near the office premises of Janhit Foundation in the Shastri Nagar locality. A few children living in the slum go to school while others help their parents in daily household activities because of their poor economic conditions.
Janhit Foundation has sponsored school dress for five children of the slum enabling them to go to school. These children were not willing to go to their schools as they were daily scolded by |
 |
|
their teachers for not wearing proper school uniform and felt ashamed of being reminded everyday at the school for the dress in front of their other friends.
All the five children are now happy studying at their schools and feel comfortable joining the other children at the school who come from a comparatively good family background. |

| Training for small scale farmers |
100 farmers of Rohta block have been provided with practical training on producing organic manures and bio-pesticides on their own farms using locally available material.
Resource persons were invited who gave a presentation on the subject and were given pratical demonstration on the preparations. The farmers have benefitted a lot from the trainings as they were totally dependent on non-organic inputs for their crops which were bought from the markets and posed a great economic burden on their pockets, increasing their cost |

|
| of production. The farmers who are now using organic inputs have also witnessed a better yield alongwith net profits. |
