Relief India Trust Supports Social Causes in Distant Places

Distance is a factor which most people look at when travelling and for any other purposes. But do you think it should be a factor in getting the help and support that you need? Just because you are located in some remote area or an inaccessible area, does that mean you would not require help and support? In fact, we get the least support in these remote areas. There are areas where people don’t even get basic amenities

This is where the volunteers at the Relief India Trust come into full action. They have people who visit these remote locations and set up help for these people. The biggest challenge the volunteers face in this case is the communication. It becomes more and more difficult the further the place is away from the city. The volunteers themselves have to be ready to live at near places to provide the help and support. They conduct health camps, training camps on basic hygiene and so on.

The other big challenge that they at the Relief India Trust understand is the challenge of clean restrooms. This is a basic need, and further you get away from the city the more you will see this amenity being not available. There are many locations still where people use an open space as rest rooms. Sounds crude but it is true. So why would we push for this. The answer is simple, a clean and hygienic rest room is every ones’ right and when there is a lack of it there can be different problems arising out of this. You can get affected with serious diseases; and women can also have the issue of safety.

One of the other factors that we consider is the illiteracy; this is most of a reason for further deterioration in conditions. What happens is that when illiteracy spreads rampantly in a population, the form of support that locals give to change the living conditions becomes more and more limited. Illiteracy, it leads them to try and banish anything that is modern as they don’t understand it. This is the reason why the ReliefIndia Trust has many educationcamps. These camps help providing some basic education to the older population in a village and it will also ensure that the future generations are encouraged to go out and study. This kind of future thinking will not just help right now, but helps in the long run as well.

There is a whole underbelly in our villages and remote locations, people are getting victimized by the people who have better means. Reaching out to these villages will help with fighting in one part of this battle. It is important to understand the problems and only then we can form a solution. At Relief India Trust they encourage such thoughts. We do not want to fight the fire when it is raging; we want to stop the fire from its root cause to extinguish it almost as soon as it starts. This kind of fire in the belly attitude is what will show a better society in the coming years.
