Sanjeevan, India - Compassionate Palliative Care
Organization information
Sri Aurobindo Society
Location: Pondicherry, India
Summary
In India, 5.4 million are in need of palliative care annually. Palliative service coverage is only 2%. Sanjeevan ( 'giving life') is a comprehensive system of community-based palliative care based on a deeper search for the true meaning of life. Its integral approach involves the body, surroundings, emotions and mind of the patient to help connect to the innermost self. The experience transforms both the cared and the carer. Sanjeevan is also creating compassionate communities, along the way. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
