Every
day, The PRASAD Project's core programs—community
development; health,
dental
and eye care;
and education
—bring help and hope to thousands of people in need.
At the heart of those programs are the dedicated staff
and volunteers of PRASAD. Every day, they tap into the
creative power of loving service to help people heal,
learn, grow and move towards self-reliance.
PRASAD's initial programs were located
in India's Tansa region, where they primarily served
the medical needs of the community. Over the years,
the programs have expanded, and now address the causes
of many diseases — such as lack of education, proper
nutrition and economic resources — rather than
simply the effects. During the past two years, the community
development program has flourished and currently supports
the preventative and village health initiatives. Prasad
Chikitsa's efforts in India have taken on a more holistic
approach, with the understanding that prevention is
better than a cure, and that self-esteem and dignity
enable communities to uplift themselves.
The PRASAD Project's programs have
extended geographically as well, to eye care in Mexico
and dental care in the United States. All of the programs,
in every location and sector, operate out of PRASAD's
values of respect, love and honor for ourselves and
one another, as well as the environment in which we
live.
