What has been the primary focus/project this term?
Health is dedicated to improving the overall general health and wellbeing throughout Bharog Baneri. We work with the villagers to increase their access to specialized medical services such as dental, eyecare, women's health services, and more. We aim to alleviate disparities in access to quality healthcare while also working with the villagers to address their specific needs.
