Every year millions of Indians are pushed to poverty due to the ‘out-of-pocket’ expenditure incurred from health-related bills. When it comes to health, prevention is always better than cure. Our interventions are focussed on creating a healthy lifestyle at the grass-root level by building the capacity of frontline health workers in the areas of primary care and mental healthcare. We work to strengthen communities by providing disability support services, palliative care, awareness and prevention of non-communicable diseases, etc. ESAF is one among the pioneer organisations to respond to the prevention of HIV/AIDS, in partnership with the Kerala AIDS Control Society. We had initiated rehabilitation of people living with AIDS, almost two decades back, by providing home-based care and livelihood opportunities.
