If you believe in the mission of the Comprehensive Rural Health Project then consider making a contribution towards the achievement of these goals. There are many ways in which people and organizations can get involved with our work. It is amazing how little it takes to make a difference in the lives of the poor and marginalized. The following are examples to give you an idea of the purchasing power of a monetary contribution. Your gift will go wherever the need is greatest or you can specify your preference.

· It takes US$125 to save the life of a mother and child with an emergency C-Section. This includes the basic costs of materials, medication and equipment used in the surgery.

· Restoring a person’s eyesight with a cataract surgery costs only US$90. A visiting ophthalmologists makes weekly visits to provide charity services for poor patients in our project villages.

· Curing a person with tuberculosis costs only US$60 for medication and other support services.

· Providing an artificial limb (Jaipur Foot) to a person who has lost his or her leg costs only US$50. These simple yet effective prosthetic devices enable amputees to resume their work and support themselves and their families. CRHP organizes large camps to provide dozens, sometimes hundreds, of these legs at a time.

· Supporting the holistic rehabilitation of a person with HIV/AIDS, TB, leprosy or a victim of domestic violence costs only US$50 per month.

.  It takes only $300 to provide clean drinking water for 10 village households using Biosand filters.

· For only US$5 you can support the basic care of a patient admitted in the CRHP hospital who has no means of support. This contribution will help sustain CRHP’s ability to offer essential, low-cost secondary care services to poverty stricken village communities.

· A Village Health Worker’s (VHW) honorarium and medical kit costs only US$40 a month. This small amount enables the VHWs to effectively attend to the primary health care needs of their communities of about 1500 to 2500 people. 

· Sponsoring an NGO worker from a developing country for the 2-month diploma course in community-based health and development costs US$400. This includes their tuition as well as room, board and transportation for the entire length of the training. 

· Poor economic conditions and famine often take their greatest toll on children. Most of these children are forced to drop out of school, receive poor nutrition, inadequate medical care and live in hazardous conditions. CRHP works hard to ensure children receive a proper education, good nutrition and a better quality of life. It costs only US$1 a day to sponsor a child. This small amount covers housing, food and educational expenses for the child.

· For US$125 you can fully support one child living in our children’s dormitory for the 6 month period while his or her family is migrating for employment. This will cover all costs we incur while supporting each child.

These are just a few of the ways in which your contribution can support our efforts at fighting poverty and social injustice.

Apart from monetary donations you can also invest your time and skills by volunteering for CRHP. Past volunteers have found this fulfilling and rewarding. At the same time you can potentially make a difference in the lives of thousands of people. You may have a skill that can be of great use wherever you are or in Jamkhed itself. If you have some spare time and wish to volunteer please contact us and let us know what skills you believe would be helpful. An example would include helping us raise funds to support and ensure the continued sustainability for our diverse range of community-based health and development programs or developing new programs to further advance CBPHC (community-based primary health care). 

If you wish to make a donation to the Comprehensive Rural Health Project, Jamkhed, you may do so through our partner organization, Jamkhed International - North America (JINA). 100% of your donation will be transferred directly to CRHP to support our many programs and further our mission of alleviating poverty and empowering the poor and marginalized.
