BACKGROUND

The Hans Foundation (THF), established in 2009, is a Public Charitable Trust that works towards creating an equitable society to enhance quality of life for all through the empowerment of marginalized and underprivileged communities in India. The Hans Foundation works for the Health and Wellbeing of remote and under-served groups, with an additional focus on children, persons with disabilities and women. THF also works for holistic Education and Livelihood development of our communities. Our Two-Fold Strategy involves identifying and working within Aspirational Districts and high poverty index in the North, North-East and East regions within specific states, as well as catering to lower-income and migratory populations in cities, through urban programs.

Over its 15 years of existence, THF has reached more than 35 million beneficiaries through its programs. THF works with communities through direct implementation of projects on the ground in addition to providing local management and monitoring support to not-for-profit organisations in India funded through THF USA and RIST.

PROJECT OVERVIEW: HANS HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTRE

The Hans Health & Wellness Centre, Meghalaya, is a transformative initiative aimed at addressing the fundamental healthcare needs of rural and hard-to-reach populations. Recognizing the limitations of government resources, The Hans Foundation (THF) has committed to bridging the gap by taking over 50 sub-centres in the first phase. This project is designed to make a substantial impact on health parameters, particularly in reducing maternal mortality rates. Through a meticulous gap assessment, THF will provide the necessary equipment and facilities, deploy skilled human resources, and ensure comprehensive training to meet the project’s demands. The initiative is not just a short-term intervention but a long-term commitment, with regular operations and monitoring to ensure sustained improvement. THF envisions this project as a model for community healthcare at the grassroots level, aspiring to set a benchmark that other states might seek to replicate, ultimately expanding its reach across the region in a phased manner.
