THI views health as a state of mental, social and economic well-being and not the mere absence of disease. Our health interventions go beyond merely providing a curative and preventive medical service and we see our farming and craft initiatives to be directly connected to maintaining health in the region.
Broadly speaking the following are the activities of THI:
Tribal Hospital
We run a 24 bed secondary level hospital which admits patients with medical, surgical and obstetric problems. The hospital serves as a base for our health outreach programme.
Health Outreach Programme
Our health outreach programme provides simple curative, preventive and ambulance services to 21 villages in the Sittilingi valley.
Farming Initiative
Our Farming Initiative aims to enable farmers to practice economically and ecologically sound agriculture.
Craft Initiative
The Craft Initiative enables local Lambadi women to become economically self-reliant while preserving their traditional embroidery.
