Health and Family Welfare
Health and family welfare are at the heart of the Pushpai Muralidhar Fegade Foundation’s mission to create resilient, healthy communities. We recognize that healthcare and support extend beyond medical services, encompassing education, prevention, and compassionate assistance for families facing health crises. Our programs are designed to provide critical support to vulnerable groups, promote awareness, and ensure a comprehensive approach to community well-being.
HIV/AIDS Awareness and Support
The Pushpai Muralidhar Fegade Foundation is committed to addressing the stigma, misinformation, and health challenges associated with HIV/AIDS. Our HIV/AIDS Awareness and Support programs focus on prevention, education, and compassionate support, creating a safer, more informed community.
Community Education and Awareness
We believe in the power of knowledge to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. Through workshops, public seminars, and community outreach, we educate individuals of all ages about safe practices, risk reduction, and the importance of regular health screenings. By dispelling myths and providing facts, our awareness campaigns help reduce stigma and encourage open discussions about sexual health and well-being.
Support for Affected Individuals and Families
For individuals and families impacted by HIV/AIDS, support is crucial. We offer counseling, peer support groups, and resources that provide a safe space for affected individuals to share their experiences, receive guidance, and build resilience. Our support programs also connect individuals to medical care, ensuring they have access to treatment and regular health check-ups.
Youth and School Programs
Prevention is most effective when it starts early. Our youth programs focus on educating teenagers and young adults about HIV/AIDS through age-appropriate information sessions, interactive activities, and accessible health resources. By building awareness from a young age, we empower youth to make informed choices and advocate for a healthier future.

Disaster Management and Response
Natural disasters leave communities devastated, often in need of immediate relief, medical assistance, and long-term rehabilitation. Our Disaster Management and Response program is designed to provide timely, organized support to affected regions, helping them rebuild and recover.
Emergency Relief and Material Distribution
During disasters, every moment counts. We organize rapid response teams to deliver essential supplies, including food, clean water, blankets, and hygiene kits to affected areas. Our volunteer networks and partnerships with local authorities allow us to reach communities swiftly, providing them with immediate relief to help them through the most critical period.
Medical Assistance and Health Services
Disasters often lead to outbreaks of illnesses and injuries. Our mobile medical teams provide on-the-ground health services, offering emergency first aid, vaccinations, and health check-ups to prevent disease spread and ensure that basic healthcare needs are met during these challenging times.
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Efforts
Once immediate relief needs are addressed, we work on long-term rehabilitation. This includes rebuilding homes, restoring infrastructure, and helping families return to a semblance of normalcy. Our team collaborates with local organizations and community members to provide sustainable reconstruction solutions that support the long-term stability of the affected area.
Disaster Preparedness and Community Training
We believe in the importance of preparedness to minimize the impact of future disasters. Our disaster preparedness programs train communities on emergency response protocols, basic first aid, and risk assessment. By empowering communities with knowledge, we help them build resilience against future calamities.
