Child in Need India (CINI) organized an induction meeting with the “Swastho Songini” members of Mukti on 7th February 2023 at the Mukti Raidighi office. The project “Swastho Songini” is a Kolkata Foundation initiative, developed in collaboration with Mukti and being implemented under the joint guidance of Mukti and Kolkata Foundation. Through Mukti’s “Swastho Songini” project, CINI intends to strengthen the capacity of deprived children and women of remote villages of Sundarban to improve their health and nutrition.
Three trainees of CINI interacted with ten leaders of the “Swastho Songini” project. In this induction meeting, CINI personnel fixed the dates of a training session and wanted to know the diseases that are of most concern to the villagers. The Swastho Songini leaders informed them that villagers mainly suffer from skin and stomach diseases.
CINI is going to conduct a 9-day training program during 12th-20th February for Swastho Songini members at Pailan. Through the training, CINI will create health personnel who will act as adult and child community representatives of their respective areas. The health personnel will help Mukti by using available resources and identifying local solutions. They will learn from the deprived communities and help them to improve their condition.
