Our work for the ostracized and marginalized women in Kolkata, India
We have set up a permanent space in Kalighat where it would provide a safe space and let us conduct regular coaching classes for assisting children of sex workers with their schoolwork, as well as conduct regular telemedicine sessions among other things
Food Drives
Our food drive continues for the past two years, almost every month.
Healthcare
After conducting several medical camps in 2022, we organized blood tests, provided and thermometers medicine during a severe outbreak of Malaria and Dengue in the community. Krishnaa Foundation has now set up a permanent medical clinic in the area to provide regular medical consultation and treatment via telemedicine from June 2023.
Education Drives
In 2021 and 2022, Krishnaa Foundation provided educational help to the children of the sex-workers by providing notebooks, pencils and books. From June of 2023, Krishnaa Foundation has hired teachers to conduct daily tutorial classes for the elementary and middle school students there. Besides homework help and providing help in understanding schoolwork, the teachers also conduct art classes. We intend to expand these activities in the future
