This week our farm team harvested calendula. We use the extract to make an antiseptic healing cream.

Nishtha staff picking plantain leaves in the fields to make our special cough medicine.

Ravindra and Vijay held three very successful one day trainings for 51 pre-adolescents in three mountainside schools. Their aim was to raise the children’s awareness of issues around personal safety and how to protect themselves from any kind of abuse. The children responded extremely well to all the games and exercises and thoroughly enjoyed the special lunch of puris and were very pleased with their new pencil boxes.

Last week our team joined the waste warriors, to celebrate Warriors Day 2023

More repairs to the village filter system- the tank had to be raised to generate sufficient pressure to provide enough filtered water to serve the village. Job well done team!

Spring is coming into our valley, but even among the flowers there is plastic waste.
Stop polluting our nature!

To celebrate the end of their studies, the Nishtha Team organised a trek up the mountain with the sponsorship students. On the way they enjoyed the beautiful mountain environment and picked up all the litter they found on the path. They had a great time cooking a wonderful lunch together and will remember this happy day in nature with their friends.

I am Anna, a 4th year medical student from Austria. I had a wonderful three weeks internship here at Nishtha Health Care Clinic where I was very well cared for. I not only learned a lot about homeopathy and acupuncture, which were completely new to me but I was also able to expand my knowledge about allopathy in a practical setting with patients. The doctors were all very welcoming, translating what the patients were saying and always explained everything in detail to me. Twice a week I would join the Health Education Clinics Nishtha holds in the outlying villages which were always really interesting. I highly recommend doing an internship here.

Puja Anand and her winter camp students presented a really fun and thought provoking series of skits and songs to Nishtha students in the CC last Sunday. We all thank you for a great afternoon!
