Operation Kaya

About Project

For a country whose population of women alone is more than the total population of many other countries, India fares low where their treatment is concerned. World wide, approximately 20% of women, and 3% of men are iron deficient. India has highest prevalence of Anaemia in the world and contributes to 50% of deaths globally due to anaemia. 20-40% maternal deaths in India are due to Anaemia. In rural india, breast cancer is most common , placing cervical cancer at second position and contributes to 25-32% of all female cancers. India tops the world in cervical cancer deaths, out of 5 lac cases reported / year worldwide, India contributes to 26%of the deaths. PID is one of the major cause of infertility, spontaneous abortion & maternal deaths. PID is 70% more common using unhygienic practices and using old clothes instead of sanitary napkins. All these lead to increased maternal and infant mortality and morbadity.

  • Under operation KAYA , we are spreading awareness among local populace regarding prevention of anaemia with the help of volunteers and conducting haemoglobin tests across camps in various villages and providing one month supply of iron therapy.
  • The society is organizing early cancer detection camps across various villages/urban areas in association with Harvinder Memorial Cancer Institute. All women above 21 years of age are subjected for Mammography and Pap smear to identify cases of breast cancer and cervical cancer. If detected, cases are being referred to tertiary care units for subsidized management.
  • We are spreading awareness among rural women about personal & sanitary hygiene and educating them about using sanitary pads. The society is educating rural women in the age group of 15-40 how to make sanitary pads. These women are provided with Autoclave and raw material for making pads by the society.
  • Educating the populace regarding prevention of STDs like AIDS, HIV & use of contraceptive devices and female foeticide
