We are honored to organise another successful camp at Shri Mahila Gruha Udyog, Dhyari, the makers of the famous Lijjat Papad; an organisation that symbolizes the Strength Of Women. Conditions like piles, fissure, constipation, fistula, pilonidal sinus have a surprisingly high incidence in the population, but shame and awkwardness come along with it. These inhibitions become stronger when it comes to women. One might feel it is only true in rural areas, but surprisingly many urban women sweep it under carpet too.
Madhura Bhate,( NGO coordinator, HHF) addressed the same to everyone present. Suman Darekar ( President, Mahila Gruha Udyog Sanstha), supported the drive. Anita Said(Camp Coordinator, HHF) arranged the drive under the guidance of Dr. Ashwin Porwal(President, HHF) and Dr. Snehal Porwal(Secretary, HHF).

When Compassion Meets Courage !!!
We met a specially abled person Mr. Pandharinath Dighade. Being visually challenged since birth, he has never seen light the way we know it; and yet he managed to come alone to Pune for treatment all the way from Sakhra, Hingoli. He suffered from hemorrhoids while preparing for his banking entrance exams. While his time with Healing Hands Family he was overwhelmed with the care and support he received.
Why daughters are special?
This woman strived hard to convince her reluctant father to come to the city and undergo treatment. He was suffering from hernia for a long time, but ignorance and fear kept him from seeking treatment. Finally, it was his daughter who found a way out for him. Unable to pay for the heavy expenses of medical treatments, she sought help from Healing Hands Foundation. We could help this daughter in taking care of her father and her gratitude at the end made every effort worthwhile!!

Fighting a deeply ingrained thought process in society is not easy task. People, especially women, still hesitate to talk about anorectal issues- piles, fissures, fistula, constipation etc.
All the efforts feel fruitful when even one feels comfortable to talk about it. Here’s one of our beneficiaries sharing her experience after being diagnosed and counselled by the team during the drive. We hope all ladies out there understand that ignorance is not the solution. Speak-up Spread health awareness and move towards the journey of healthy lifestyle.
Vaishali, struggled silently with the pain and embarrassment of passing blood with her stools. The condition not only drained her physically but also led to frequent absenteeism, affecting her income and confidence.

With nowhere to turn, Vaishali’s situation seemed hopeless—until she found
Healing Hands Foundation.
