“When I see the migrant workers broken bodies and eyes without hope, I want to embrace and wipe away their fears. It makes me angry and helps me to keep fighting the oppressive system"
My self working as a Volunteer, based at Surat, Gujarat, India and working with an aim to arrest the vulnerable living & working condition of migrant workers and to hold the notion of human development in the industrial areas of Surat. In order to improve the vulnerable health condition of migrant workers, I have organized one to one sensitization meeting along with an Survey in the messes . Major patients were referred to New Civil hospital, Surat, Sanimer Hospital, Surat, Pranatha Hospital, Surat & Blood bank for further treatment.
But it has been observed that, due to poor financial condition, they could not meet the expenses required for their treatment. Hence it, is required a free Medical checkup camps for minimal relief of the patients.
So please support and help the vulnerable migrant worker for a better hope.
#2 (20 Jun, 2017) - Diseases occurred due to long term engagement in Loom industry :
While having discussion with 36 Nos of inmate of the messes, it was understood that workers are exaggerated by various diseases due to long term engagement in loom industry and lack of concentration towards their health. Also, it has been observed that, most of the diseases appears after the attaining the age of 45 and/or after working 5 to 10 years in the loom industry continuously.

#3 (20 Jun, 2017) The living condition of Migrant workers are very miserable. They are just living in hell since decade. The local government nor loom owner never showed any interest for the up-liftment of the living & working condition of the migrant of workers. Millions of migrant workers from different states of India like Odisha, Bihar, UP, Jharkhand are working in this sector since decades. Living in unhygienic environment & lack of any medical facilities causes severe diseases like Low Vision, Hearing, Hypertension, Skin Disease, Joint Pains & Above all, STDs(Sexually Transmitted Diseases). As a volunteer, I would like to organize a Health Check up camps for at least 200 workers along with free distribution of Medicine kit for a minimal relief from the diseases of the Migrant workers. So Please support for this campaign.
