   India - Dibrugarh

Medical Clinic

$23,500

This area of India is known as the "Tribal Regions." It is in the far North East corner of the panhandle of India. It is above Burma and below Tibet. It is approximately the size of the State of New York. It has a population of approximately 1 million people from 26 different tribes, speaking 26 different dialects. Education, vocational training and medical services are a luxury few know of.

In this remote part of the world, the most rudimentary medical help is a ten-day walk away. If villagers do make the trek, they will have to leave their fields and lose their crop. For them, it is their entire food source. Once they get there, they cannot afford to pay for the services. In this area, children easily die from infected bug bites. People die horrible deaths from untreated burns, as they cook over open fires.

This project will fund the purchase of an SUV for transporting volunteers from the Assam Medical College to these remote areas. It will also purchase sewing machines for vocational training and medicines in large quantity for a population of 55,000 people.
