Healthcare
Preventive Care
NSWF believes “Prevention is better than cure” which is totally lacking in rural areas. Most of the patients we come across not aware of their health issues and ignore symptoms of decease. NSWF created awareness to the public and initiated various FREE preventive health camps. We were surprised with the response from Nagarathar and rural public participated in the camps. We identified many severe diabetic, cardiac patients who has no knowledge about it. NSWF’s consistent efforts saved lot of rural people from severe illness.
Dental Care
Dental problems are the root cause for various illness in the body. Dental treatment from a renowned physician is more expensive and also difficult to get appointments in cities. Small towns like Pudukottai not well equipped with modern Dental treatment facilities. Realising this Dr Manigandan, who is from Nachandupatti willing to serve the area once a month at free of cost. NSWF utilised his services and created a infrastructure to perform Root Canal treatment at our Chairman’s house.
Speciality Health Camps
Those who live in City are blessed to have good Specialty Hospitals with talented Doctors. Of course to avail this facility we are fortunate to have the resources to pay for the treatment. But in rural areas there is no Speciality Doctors or hospitals and also people are not offered to such expensive care. NSWF’s primary agenda is to bridge this gap and create an opportunity for the underprivileged and local living Nagarathar community to get this world class Medical consultation and treatments. So for we have done more than 10 such camps with support of various other organisations like NSNA, Canada Nagarathar Sangam, leading pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.
Eye Care
NSWF arrange a comprehensive Eye check up camps in a personalised manner with the support of Eye hospitals around the region. Some of the eye related issues are directly or indirectly connected with other general health issues. Unless we address those issues it is difficult to treat eyes for example high Sugar or Blood Pressure. Advantage of using NSWF camps will help them in getting general medical care as a follow up. Also we do check the power and get all the patients with FREE spectacles specially made for them. Most of these activities are done at our Nachandupatti Health Center premises itself.
Physiotherapy
We realised most of the elders physical problems are due to ageing and introduced FREE Physiotherapy by one of the best Physiotherapist from Trichy. Mr Ashok who is a leading Physiotherapist and a generous mind youngster willing to assist us on this and he travels regularly to Nachandupatti and treated various Nagarathar elders and rural community. Many of the elders are able to mange themselves with the support of Physiotherapy and without medicines to manage their illness related to ageing process. We are happy to share many elders who are not able to move around now able to manage themselves in day to day activities. Regular follow up done by our staff nurses by reminding the patients when the specialists visit the Nachandupatti Health Center.
Today’s students.
Tomorrow’s leaders.
NSWF constantly working in the area of education by providing scholarship to the deserving candidates, distributing note books and accessories to the school children and help enhancing the infrastructure in Rural Government schools.
Education
Educational Aids
NSWF always believed in contributing in a little way in rural education. Every year we have provided the school kids with notebooks, tiffin box, test pads, stationaries and many more day to day need for schooling in various Government schools in and around Nachandupatti. Some of our Trustees personally interested in these projects and sponsor them in their individual capacities.
Financial Assitance
NSWF offer financial assistance to various students for higher eduction in a consistent manner. We do follow up the students progress every year and continue to suppler them with financial assistance for college fees. Also we have given long term interest free loan for professional course students like Engineering. Primary criteria in selecting these students is their academic performance. W
Rural School Infrastructure Aids
Many Government run rural schools are in a pathetic condition in terms of basic infrastructure. It is very unfortunate to note some of the girls schools don’t even have proper toilets for them to use. Some of the schools docent even have proper roofing and class rooms flooded with rain water when it’s raining. Though the need is too high on request from some of the school Principals we have furnished some of the infrastructure like roof, toilets etc. Some of our Trustees are willing to adopt schools in a comprehensive manner and enhance the infrastructure. We have approached the Government to officially proceed on this and Government is more then willing to work with NSWF.
Motivate Rural Students
As part of our Educational support our Trustees visits various schools, tuition centres in the region and motivate students sharing our thoughts including importance about studies, care of elders at home and “Joy of Giving”. Students do respond in a positive manner and this initiative will encourage students to care for the Society.
Community development
Apart from healthcare and education NSWF constantly working on community development programs. As part of this efforts we join them in celebrating major festivals by supporting underprivileged with financial aids, sarees, dhotis etc. We do conduct various get togethers for the elders in Nachandupatti by directly contact them.
Community Development
Festival Assitance
Festival times are so joyful for privileged one like us, but underprivileged people may not be of the same due to lack of minimum required money. NSWF gives a small cash gift to selected people including Nagarathar. This small cash is not going to make much of a difference in terms of buying capacity, however, this effort morally boosted many people morale to think that some one is there for them and to celebrate the festival with them. Presently we do this for Deepavali, Pongal and Thai Poosam.
Elder Care
When some of the Trustees of NSWF started earlier the “Naz Vahzvu Maiyam” project we got connected to almost all elders not only in Nachandupatti but the surrounding villages like Panayapatti, Kulipirai, Naikonam, and Virachilai. Elder care is not just a project but we felt that we are blessed to have an opportunity to serve our Iyyas and Appathal. So our only approach to all of them is LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and we mean it. By exchanging the love it is not we won their hearts but they won our hearts. It is a moving experience for all of us to work with them as all of them are like children. Past 8 years some of our Trustees giving Sarees and Vestis to all of them by directly going to they homes like our family members.
Temple Service
Doing service in Nagara Sivan Kovil is not part of our agenda we have been blessed to conduct “Nellimaram Kalyanam” at Nachandupatti Kovil every year. It is an interesting story how we got connected tothi’s Divine work. Sornam Achi who was 80 years old got connected closely by these projects and sharing her love with all of us so enthusiastically at this age and participating in all our activities. Since she was not married she donated her fixed deposits to NSWF with one condition that we should conduct this Nellimaram Kalyanam every year from the interest of the deposits. Today she is not with us but her fond memory stays with all of us forever and God blessed that true souls only wish to continue forever through the Trustees of NSWF. We love you Sorni Achi and we know you will be blessing all our activities wherever you are.
Adopt Abandoned Patients
It is very unfortunate to note that in rural areas many abandoned one’s illness due lack finance. It was shocking for us to know this fact when we interacted with patients who attend our regular clinic or the Medical Camps. Though we don’t have any separate fund available for this cause we connected some of the good souls who are willing to help them on case to case basis. Thats how we floated the scheme called “Adopt a Patient” and so for there are more than 5 patients helped through our network and NSWF closely monitor their progress on ground. If any willing to adopt such patients please do contact us or share your mail id and we will communicate to you. We are planning to bring this portfolio online in our website to create awareness and connect more such people.
Annual Report
Dedicated to change.
With limited resources from Trustees and like minded donors NSWF strive hard to get the best out of every single penny spent on the ground. Most fo the expenditure were borne by the Trustees and good hearted volunteers NSWF achieved very good results in the past four years.
