Mission Heal | Helping the Fallen

It is believed that knowledge had its origin in India. Many Indians have accomplished feats in the areas of science, arts and literature. Yet after so much accomplishments, why has India refrained from educating the poverty stricken people? Why has it, let ego prevent them from helping the downtrodden? Is it not shameful to let illiteracy breach the nation whose pillars are built on the Vedas? Various NGO’s have collaborated to address and resolve this problem. What is more important is that the government has also taken up this challenge and passed some laws in its favor.

Restoring a child’s faith in education is the biggest leap before asking them to learn. Mission Heal is an NGO that has spread awareness by campaigning for the need of education. It has also voiced its concern for free education for all children. By making use of its huge group, they have mobilized to reach out to more people. Mission Heal also takes up individual cases and help those distraught children. Mission Heal has also vowed to educate women and protect the environment. This NGO does not have any political or religious motivation and solely works towards alleviating the situation of the poor.

Mission Heal has organized many camps for the poor and needy. Free distribution of clothes and books has inspired the children to become better. Free medical check-up treats the poor free of charge to improve their health. Mission Heal has also organizes free midday meals for the people who cannot afford a proper meal. Mission Heal has got an over-whelming response from the people. Mission Heal serves all people irrespective of their caste and will continue that in the future.

Mission Heal has won an amazing response from the government as well as individuals. The government has passed a bill of Right of Education (RTE) which entitles all poor children to free education in any school in the vicinity of the residence. The cost of the child’s education is burdened on the state and central government. Such steps by the government fortify the hopes of the poor children. The right to education has allotted a percentage of the seats in every school for the students who cannot afford proper schooling. Many individuals have also contributed to this cause. They have generously donated money or their help to NGO’s like Mission Heal. 

The main reason why so many children and women are illiterate is due to many reasons. The greatest of all is due to poverty. Poverty makes people do dreadful things. Families have to recall their children from school and send them to work to meet their daily needs. Also, peers tend to misguide their children from attending school. This makes the situation a lot worse. It creates a mindset in the child that school is not the right place for him or students will ridicule him. It is necessary for us to remove all these doubts from such children and teach them that school is a place where one learns to be a responsible citizen for the country.
