We intend to counsel, heal 240 women survivors of violence to seek help and to live healthy & productive life.

The recovering addicts and their families are usually not aware of NCDs and its relation with their alcohol and drug use. Moreover, discrimination from society leads to isolation of families affected by alcohol abuse.

Solution

The project aims to meet the need to engage "patient" before they accept this new identity of "patient" and promote informed choices among people effected and affected by NCDs & alcohol.

Smith, Some were dozing off;some with  drooping.heads;some in a sort of trance;some snoring off.
