Water supply, sanitation and health are closely related. Poor hygiene, inadequate quantities and quality of drinking water and lack of sanitation facilities cause millions of the world’s poorest people to die from preventable diseases each year. Women and children are the main victims.
Lack of clean water and sanitation is the second most important risk factor in terms of the global burden of disease,
after malnutrition. Approximately 4 billion cases of diarrhea per year cause 1.5 million deaths, mostly among children under five. Moreover, Intestinal Worms infect about 10% of the population of the developing world, and can lead to malnutrition, anemia and retarded growth.

Radha Bala Foundation by joining hands with Sankardeva Nethralaya, Guwahati conducted a Free Eye Check Up Camp at Thengapara, covering more than 6 SC villages in Mirza on 14th Nov. 2011. After ample research we found that most of the people, living in that area are suffering from vision problem. So, the camp was meant for those poor people who had Eye disorders but were not able to get the cure because of their poverty. Tests were conducted to detect vision deficiencies, cataract and so on. Nearly 200 people from the local area and surrounding area participated in the camp. Besides conducting tests, free medicines were provided to the needy people. Moreover, 15 people were benefited with free Operational treatment whose eye disorder had worsened.
