Better Health

Public health at its core most of our health interventions are in the area of emergency healthcare. We operate Emergency Ambulances (Advanced and Basic Life Support Ambulances)

Mobile Medical Units (Mmus) And Mortuary Vans.

Hand to Some Foundation has been working here to improve emergency healthcare services in the State. Our Health initiative caters to all thirty-eight districts and six medical colleges through Advanced Life Support Ambulances. A 24×7 centralized control room monitors the operations of these ambulances deployed at New Amma Hospitals & Supraja Hospitals and some medical colleges. All of these ambulances are equipped with over 5 advanced life saving equipment’s such as oxygen, ventilator, cardiac monitor, defibrillator etc. along with critical drugs. A skilled emergency medical technician along with a support staff is onboard round the clock to ensure a safe pre-medical treatment of the patients.

Mobile Medical Units

Health services for people living in remote areas are a big challenge for the state of Telangana. Distance from the health centre, lack of transport system, economic condition of the people are of many factors that keep the poor living in remote areas away from the health services. The Hand to Some foundation has been working to take the health services to the doorstep of the beneficiaries. Mobile Medical Unit has proved to be a landmark initiative in this field. Our MMU caters to the slums and sub-urban areas. The vans carry with it an MBBS doctor along with a skilled team of nurse and lab technicians. Diagnosis, tests, drug distribution all takes place at the van itself.

Mortuary Vans

Building on the belief of providing dignity for all, including dead, Hand to Some Foundation has been operating mortuary van service in an institutionalized manner since 2019 during Covid19 Pandemic. Hand to Some Foundation, in collaboration with the Health Care Sectors, Hospitals is carrying operating 5 mortuary vans that are deployed in all districts of Telangana State. The service is provided FREE OF COST for people living below poverty line.

Sustainable Livelihood And Financial Inclusion.

We work extensively with the marginalized communities especially rickshaw-pullers and street vendors for their livelihood, financial and social inclusion.

Cycle and Rickshaws

Since 2020, Hand to Some Foundation has been working towards organizing rickshaw & cart pullers and empowering then by financial inclusion, capacity building program and skill development training. We have not only facilitated the upward mobility of the lives of hundreds of Rickshaw/cart Pullers but also pioneered the innovation in rickshaw design changes. Our efforts have brought about significant value additions to Government policies laid down for the unorganized working communities. We have also worked on formation and establishment of separate town and state level cooperative in Urban local bodies of Telangana. Our model has been adopted by a number of other State Governments.

Street Vendors

Hand to Some Foundation has been working with Street Vendors at Fruit Markets and also assisting the Vegitable Markets We have mobilised more than 1000 street vendors across Hyderabad City.

Financial Inclusion

Financial Inclusion of all has been one of the key focus area for us. We have worked in this area in a number of ways over the years. Recently, in partnership with NABARD, we carried out an innovative campaign in Ibrahimpatnam and Nalgonda districts of Telangana. This was the first time a mass awareness campaign of this nature was tried in the region and this proved to be a great success. The rickshaw pullers were trained to become the society champions of FI and educated their clients about financial schemes. Their rickshaws were branded with slogans and messages that encouraged FI awareness. The rickshaw pullers also enrolled themselves in PMJJY and PMSBY schemes.

Grow Agriculture & Rural Entrepreneurship

We motivate and train people to think like entrepreneurs and overcome poverty. We are transforming the lives of tribal and rural women communities through sustainable agriculture.

Agriculture

With Agriculture at its prime focus, we have partnered with NABARD for WADI Program under Tribal Development Fund (TDF). The program targets providing sustainable returns, uncontaminated atmosphere and improved quality of life for the tribal community. The WADI, a ‘small Orchard,’ developed for improvement for long term family income is particularly designed for one acre per family with inter cropping management. We are currently working in Yadadadri District, Telangana with more than 50 families on over 100 acres of land.

Leadership & Skill Development

This is a non-political initiative to recognize and empower the public leaders at Mandal-level and enable them to cause a large-scale impact. This focuses on building leadership capacity at the grassroots level and also enables sharing of best practices among the Mandal Leaders. It is envisioned that through this capacity building, the social and economic development of Mandal will be fast-tracked. Hand to some Foundation has brought together a team of Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University graduates (who are passionate about social development) to lead this initiative.

Education & Skill Development

Our initiatives involve a significant number of skill development trainings. We are in process of formalising our existing trainings under the Skill Development Mission of the Government of India. We also provide scholarships to children from low-income family to complete their school education. we extensively carryout skill building and educational activities – both in formal as well as informal manner.
