More people in the families and villages where our patients come from understand mental illnesses objectively and this has helped combat dangerous superstitions surrounding it. Seeing patient successes, we are organically having families seek our support wherein earlier it was a hushed topic. The project is slowly aiding in destigmatizing mental illnesses in Majuli.
Impact
Disaster Management & Relief Program
Majuli experiences seasonal floods every year that disrupt the everyday lives of communities, impacting the health, livelihoods, and education of local communities. With the changing climatic conditions, there are expectations that there will be more floods and droughts in the upcoming years. Floods always prompt immediate and quick action by various entities. Experts in the field suggest that the flood situation will not decline, and thus community-centric resilience measures need to be instituted to support communities during floods. Our work with the community over the past 6 years has been the base of this project. Over the years we have provided relief to over 8,000 families across Majuli and nearby districts.
