SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING
In India there is a lot of students dropping out primary and secondary education and seeking vocational training during their adult hood/after marriage to support their family economically. Accordingly, Ratan Foundation is facilitating the training program to the needy approaching the organization. Vocational training is the backbone for each and every one to earn for day to day livelihood. Vocational training for youth is an integral part of social work that we have been doing from the inception. We have now succeeded in strengthening our activities in this field. This is particularly relevant in the context of children/youth that did not have the opportunity to complete their education or learn useful skills for making them profitably self employed and able to stand on their own feet.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

We conduct workshops to address the sensitive issues such as domestic violence, abused & violated rights of women and gender discrimination. We deliver some supportive services like legal aid/advice, medical care, counselling , mediation, reconciliation, resettlement and re-integration.
Education on Hygien
It has been 10 years, since Ratan Foundation took the initiative towards empowering women and girls by educating them about maintaining hygiene during menstruation periods. In India, many women and girls are facing difficulties and challenges due to ignorance of personal hygiene and lack of awareness about mensuration tract infections. Through our survey in rural and slum areas in India, we gathered the facts that women and girls are not aware of hygiene during their mensuration periods. One fact is also there that sanitary products is not available everywhere or if it is available then they are unable to afford the such high cost. Hence they rely on used cloth pad which they wash and use it again. Moreover, at some places in India, women use pad by filling sand and newspaper to absorb menstrual blood, which is very unhygienic for their health. Hence many of them dealing with bacterial infection of urinary and reproductive tract ensue. The problem of using pads has been extended in such a way that women who are using sanitary pads, are not aware to use it properly and dispose it correctly. We also have been facing the problems while discussing on hygiene during their menstruation periods because most of the women and girls are not open to discuss it with us as they feel very shy while putting their views on it. Women and girls do not have the platform to get the information or discuss such issues.
We realized that there should be a platform where women and girls should be educated on such important issue related to their life. Hence we came up with an initiative to raise the awareness about hygiene and proper method to use sanitary pads. We have striving an emphasis to use sanitary products in a manner which is safe for their health.
STOP HUNGER
Stop Hunger Now campaign is driven to eliminate hunger through distributing food packets to the neediest, venerable, disadvantaged and under privileged people. We ensure that every person from low income group should access the good quality, nutritious food to reduce the rate of disease and sickness.To end up the Hunger, Ratan Foundation has been serving foods in rural and urban areas for more than 3 years. We have benefited to 3000 people in India by delivering good quality of food.
HEALTH
Health is the most important part of human being for all purpose. In order to promote good health and raise mass awareness about sensitive issue like cancer, Ratan Foundation decided to organize free health checkup camps to address the issue of cancer among the people who live in unhygienic condition or not aware about the infected disease. Ratan Foundation has been organizing free health checkup and early detection cancer camps in semi urban and rural areas to ensure the health of the women, girls and old age people.
We also organize general health checkup camps for clusters with the help of qualified medical staff. During these health check-up camps we provide medical treatment and medicines on the spot for the beneficiaries. We are also extending care through hospitalization of patients with serious nature disease. We organize the following type of camps:-
– Mother and child health care (MCH) & family planning camps. – General health check-up camps. – Tuberculosis Awareness camps. – Dental check-up camps. – HIV/AIDS Awareness camps. – Malaria /Dengu awareness camps.
