Care on wheels, India

In 2019 BASAID supported the building and creation of a home for women in difficult circumstances (Swadhar Home) in Odisha. These destitute women are mostly widows, or women who have been mistreated or abandoned by their husbands. This new project will supply the Swadhar Home with a vehicle which is needed for transport to the nearby health care centres at any time of the day and to ensure the immediate rescue of a destitute woman without losing time. The operational and maintenance costs for the car will be covered by the local organization.
