Health and Community Development
DKSHA is also involved in Health and Community Development activities. Our Health Educators visit the families under our target area and conduct health classes to women and arrange for medical camps in the villages to diagnose diseases and to treat the diseases. Unemployed women are helped to find jobs to earn additional income to the family and to sustain their lives through Skill Training Programs and to start self employment activities.
