Financial support for the treatment of conditions causing hearing loss
Supporting skill development and empowerment of women & children affected by hearing loss
Supporting nursing training
India has only 1.7 nurses per 1,000 people. While WHO estimates the need for 4.5 healthcare workers per 1,000 people. We hope to contribute towards narrowing this gap.

Eye hospital project
SNEHA support foundation will work with LEPRA, an NGO working since 1989 to render health-related services for various states in India. Addressing blindness is one of their missions. LEPRA foundation eye care facilities continue to operate in Western Odisha.
They are only able to do 70-80 eye surgeries per day in a singular operating theatre, but the need is greater. The development of a second operating theater can help accommodate the ever-increasing poor and needy patient load. This is where SNEHA hopes to step in and collaborate.

SNEHA support foundation will assist PYSO (Prachi Youth Social Organization) in constructing a school in Kakatpur, Odisha, India.
