The Impact of your donation

Background

As we celebrate the festival of lights at Diwali, we celebrate the Light of Hope which access to healthcare brings to a community, be it the hope of protection in the Covid-19 Pandemic, the hope of relief from pain or the hope and joy of a new-born child.

Incredible work in rural India is done at a local Community Health Centre (CHC) in a village called Sayla in Gujarat. It is a government hospital that is run and managed by the charity, Raj Saubhag. The CHC is managed and supported by Raj Saubhag Humanitarian.

It provides essential medical services to the local community of 170,000 people in 75 villages in rural Gujarat. Here, there is high illiteracy, low opportunities for good employment and infertile soil, so there is a lot of poverty.

Services provided by the CHC

Advantages of having the CHC

Why should you support the CHC?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Government of Gujarat funds the salaries of some of the doctors and some of the medicines.


    However, all additional staff, medicines and machinery are funded by Raj Saubhag Ashram. We have very few direct supporters of the work of the Hospital, and so cannot meet the needs of the people as much as we would like. This is the reason for the event, so we can raise awareness and support.

  • Please refer to the information on impact above.

  • Yes, all your donation goes to the hospital as there are no admin costs before that.

  • There is no distinction made by caste, religion or gender. The facilities and services are open to anyone

  • We would be delighted to welcome you, with accommodation and to make arrangements to visit the projects and see the work on the ground.

  • Yes. You are welcome to donate to any of the projects. The CHC is a project in great need, which is why we have held the programme.

2021 Team Image.jpg

Raj Saubhag Team of runners are taking part in the London Half Marathon to raise funds for Sayla CHC (Civic Health Centre) and the Ashirvad Centre

Vitality Half Marathon

Sunday 22nd August 2021

We have an amazing team of 7 runners: Ketan, Nikhil, Rakhee, Sameer, Niraj, Nilpa and Ashik, most taking part for the very first time. Running over 21km or 13 miles is a huge goal and they have been busy training for many months.

Their collective goal is to raise over £15,000 to help support the Sayla Civic Health Centre (CHC) and Ashirvad centre serve those that are some of the most vulnerable in the local community, with generous matching by the charity Help Change Lives. An amazing goal that has the potential of huge impact.

We would love for you to join us on the day to cheer them on. Your encouraging words will give them strength to continue running and achieve this tremendous goal. If you can come on the day message Niraj on 07737309881 and we will add you to our Whatsapp group for the day. Bring a picnic, some dancing shoes and your loudest encouraging voice.
