What will Disha do?

Providing medical care is only the start of the work. The long-term success of this project lies in the ability to educate the people of rural Rajasthan about the value of healthcare at the most basic level, so they will be sufficiently motivated to make decisions for themselves.
The Raven Charitable Trust will be working with other NGOs in the area to enable it to access the rural villages and a conference/teaching room and accommodation for visiting doctors has been incorporated into the hospital.

Disha Health Literacy Programme

We are embarking on a Disha Health Literacy programme, involving medical experts and educationalists, who will work together to ensure that the basic healthcare needs of rural communities are met.

How did Sussex Prairies get involved in designing a garden for Disha?

We became friends with Charlotte through our Sussex Prairie garden and as a result of that friendship we have visited Disha this February 2011 and started to work on plans for the hospital garden design. We are very honoured to have been asked to work with this fantastic charity. Having played a part in the first children’s health day we are even more convinced that we can help to make a difference in this corner of the world.
