01 / Medical camps
Medical camps
Doctors do not reach these villages, so we bring the doctors to them.
Maslandapur, Amdoba, Charghat. The camp opens on a Sunday morning, doctors see patients, medicines are handed out. Nothing is charged.
From Kolkata, alongside people
A little time.A little care.A long way together.
A group of volunteers from Kolkata. Medical camps out in the villages, festivals at the border, and books into the hands of students.

What we do
Different work. The same wish to stand beside people.
Three programmes, one reason: to reach where help does not.
02 / Festival service
Festival service
Festivals belong to everyone. Where they do not reach, we carry them.
At the Petrapole border in Bongaon, the Rakhi festival. This year was the fifth.
03 / Study support
Study support
No one should stop studying because the books ran out.
Books and study materials go directly into the hands of students who need them. Thirty-two of them, last time.
Where the money goes
Nobody is paid and there is no office rent, so nearly all of what comes in gets used.
Everyone volunteers
Nobody draws a salary. There is no full time staff.
No office
There is no office rent, so that cost does not exist either.
Spent directly
Nearly all of it goes on medicine, books and food.
You get told
Members hear where the money went, every time.
Five years running, at the border
Tying rakhis on the wrists of the people who stand duty at the Petrapole border, day after day. This year was the fifth.
Not only the soldiers. Shopkeepers, truck drivers, porters and passers by, on the same day and the same stretch of road.
One hundred rupees a month
A small amount, regularly, is what keeps the work running. It helps more than a large one off gift.
₹100 a month
- No perks. It simply keeps the work running.
- You hear where the money went after every camp.
- Stop any time, no questions asked.
