SUMMARY:Aashayein – a musical journey with KK for a cause
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation will utilise the proceeds to bring more children into its ‘Mission Education’ programme \nSmile Foundation organised ‘Aashayein’ a musical journey with KK for the cause of child education at Hamsadhwani Auditorium\, Pragati Maidan\, New Delhi on March 27\, 2010. \n“I am very delighted to be a part of this event. I believe that Aashayein will bring a few more underserved children of our country to the path of empowerment\,” says KK\, the famous playback singer from the country\, ”ashayein is also an opportunity for privileged and sensitized people like us to come together for a worthy cause of children\, who are the future of a nation. Children hold the key to the progress of our nation\,” adds KK. \nAashayein is an effort from Smile Foundation to mobilize more support for child education under ‘Mission Education\,’ which is a national level programme focusing on basic education for underprivileged children and youth. \nSmile Foundation believes that whether you are addressing healthcare\, poverty\, population control\, unemployment or human rights\, there’s no better place to start than in the corridors of Education. \nBecause education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: means\, because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one’s awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behaviour to understanding one’s rights – and in the process evolve as a better citizen. \nTalking about Aashayein\, H. N. Sahay\, Director Operations\, Smile Foundation says\, “Smile Foundation will continue to sensitise the privileged citizens to become a part of the effort in providing better education and healthcare facilities to the underprivileged children of the country. It feels really great to see a huge number of our existing and new associates joining hands with us to support such initiatives that strengthen our commitment to protect child rights and to ensure their well being.” Mr. Sahay adds\, “The socio-economic situation in many South Asian countries are similar and Mission Education programme will make a significant difference to the plight of the underprivileged children in these countries and we want to start with Nepal and Bangladesh very soon.” \nAs per recent findings not more than 30 per cent of school children in the age group 6 to 14 in educationally advanced states can read simple text fluently or do basic arithmetic sums. Smile Foundation believes that quality education is the key to overcome poverty in a single generation and is imperative in creating a future for the underprivileged section\, thereby adding to the progress of our nation. \nSmile Foundation promotes and catalyses universal education among underprivileged children\, create the necessary process to embrace these children into mainstream education in a sustained manner\, facilitate them to emerge as productive assets\, and set the foundation for nation building. \nThe event was organised to support the education of less privileged children under the Mission Education project of Smile Foundation. Sunstrike Telecom Pvt Ltd (Rage Mobiles)\, JK Tyres\, Sandwoods Infratech Projects(P) Ltd \, Oriental Insurance Company Ltd\, Big 92.7 FM\, Big Street\, Niho Construction Ltd.

SUMMARY:Smile Foundation brings 'Smile on Wheels' to Nagpur
DESCRIPTION:Underprivileged communities to benefit from the mobile hospital programme which will provide healthcare services at their doorsteps \nSmile Foundation\, a national level development organisation launched its mobile hospital ‘Smile on Wheels’ for Nagpur on April 8\,2010. ‘Smile on Wheels’ at Nagpur will operate in collaboration with Urvi Ashok Piramal Foundation\, an organisation involved in enriching the lives of communities by empowering them to develop and execute sustainable livelihood models. \nThe mobile hospital aims to target approximately one lac forty thousand (1.4 lac) underprivileged population in urban and rural slums of Nagpur. Talking about the need of efficient healthcare services in the region\, Harish Nandan Sahay\, Director Operations\, Smile Foundation said\, “Launch of ‘Smile on Wheels’ in Nagpur is meant to deliver health care and support to the ‘aam admi’ with major focus on children and women living in slums and rural areas of the district.” \nSmile Foundation believes that the concept of public private partnership for providing health care services at the door steps of the underprivileged communities needs to be taken up at a large scale in India. “With necessary support from our partners\, our mission of making the health care facilities accessible and affordable for the target communities across the country will be a success. With more corporate houses taking part in such initiatives\, we can look forward to better health seeking behaviour in the country” observed HN Sahay. \nNandan Pirtamal\, Trustee at Urvi Ashok Piramal Foudation said\, “We are happy to extend our resources and support to strengthen village health care system through ‘Smile on Wheels’. It will provide health care services which includes medical examination\, laboratory testing and treatment at doorstep of the underprivileged population.” With an objective to strengthen the rural health care system and also create awareness on prevention of various diseases\, we plan to reach out to around seventy five thousand (75\,000) populations in 25 villages in the initial three months of operations\, informed the partner.” \nSustainability is the core value of any development processes and without empowerment of community people sustainable social development is not possible. “We want to build our social initiatives with an underlying objective of achieving self sustainability model where people are empowered to take forward the community activities\, added Nandan Piramal. \nThe survey and area research for Nagpur suggests that there is a lack of basic healthcare services in many of the urban slums and rural villages. There is a lack of adequate number of healthcare centres in the district to cater to around 2000 villages. Majority of the population is suffering from diseases like dengue\, gastro-enteritis and malaria. Children suffer with diseases of the ear and women are found to be anaemic in large numbers. ‘Smile on Wheels’ plan to take measures for treating such diseases apart from day to day healthcare needs of the population. The mobile hospital will have a competent team of doctors and para-medical staff to cater to the specific health care needs of each patient. Salaidhaba\, Buti Bori \, Kanholibara\, Borgaon \, Takalgat have been identified as localities where there is an immediate need for quality health care services to improve the standard of life. \nAt present\, ’Smile on Wheels’ is also operational in Delhi\, Uttar Pradesh\, Tamil Nadu\, Andhra Pradesh\, Gujarat\, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. The initiative of mobile hospital programme from Smile Foundation has successfully covered seven lakh eighty six thousand six hundred and sixty seven (786\,667) underprivileged people across the country in one hundred and twenty (120) slums and villages. \nSmile Foundation has been awarded ‘NGO of the Year’ by GE Healthcare – Modern Medicare Excellence Award for innovative contribution that ‘Smile on Wheels’ has made towards healthcare services for the poor and needy.
