What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Free Medical & Dental camps
Conducting Free Medical and Dental camps around the world for all. This is especially targeted for people who are un-insured or under-insured. Some of the many Free services offered are:
- Comprehensive Free Cancer education, outreach screening and Cancer treatment in collaboration with State Governments of New Jersey, New York, California.
- Psychiatry workshops on Stress Management and depressions
- Free CPR and AED training to educate people on how to save lives in the event of someone having a stroke
- Asthma screening
- Eye screening
- Diabetic screening
- Gynecology awareness
- Bone marrow drive..and more
- The Budget for 1 Medical camp is $10675. Here is the break down of the cost incurred:
1. Venue rental would be between: $1500/day to $2500 per day.
2. Physicians: At least $150/hr for 5 hours. Multiply this with the number of super-specialist physicians attending (6 to 8)
3. Nurse support: $75/hr for 5 hours. Multiply this with the number of people supporting it
4. Medical equipment (Glucometers, strips, BP equipment,..etc): $500
5. Food/snacks for patients, volunteers, physicians and support personnel: $2000
6. Gifts for the EMT staff (This is a Thank you to the EMT staff as they help us out with CPR training): $300
To get an yearly estimate, we need to multiply this amount with the number of Free Medical camps we conduct around the world per year. Assuming that we conduct at least 10 medical camps per year, the cost would be at least $10675 * 10 : $106750
Free Food Drive
Providing Free meals at shelter homes around the world
The amount mentioned below in the 'Budget' section is for providing Free food (Pasta, Salads & dressings, Bread, Desert, Fruits, Healthy juices, Protein shakes, ..etc) for 1 meal serving about 100 people. To get an yearly estimate, we need to multiply this with the number of Food drives we conduct around the world. Assuming that we conduct at least 100 Food drives per year, the cost incurred would be $75500.
Note: Shelter homes can house any where between 50 to about 200 people. So, we estimate we would be incurring a cost of at least $75500 per year
Free Housing Project
Build Free houses to economically disadvantaged people around the world.
It costs us about $2500 to build one house. The dollar amount quoted in the 'Budget' section below reflects the amount needed to build 100 one-bed room houses in remote villages of Nellore District in A.P, India.
To arrive at an estimate of the annual amount needed by us, we need to multiply the amount by the number of homes being built in India: $2500 * 100 homes = $250000
Note: We are in the process of gathering data on how much it would cost us to build similar homes in Africa, Asia and parts of America.
Nature & Wild life Conservation
Work to sustain the natural balance in Nature to make sure we protect our beautiful planet Earth for future generations.
The estimated amount for 1 awareness camp is $400. The amount quoted below in the 'Budget' section is for conducting 25 awareness/educational camp in South India : $400 * 25 = $10000
Water Treatment / purification houses
The expenditure incurred in building one Water treatment plant is approximately $21000. This was initiated to provide pure and safe drinking water to the remote villages in India with an objective of shielding people from Flourosis. (Fluorosis is caused by high levels of Fluoride in drinking water).
Budget represents cost per village. 15 more villages need to be covered next year costing $315,000
Blood Drive
There is a constant need of Blood around the world. Our volunteers partner with organizations like Red Cross to help conduct Blood drives
Bone Marrow Drive
Collaborating with 'Be the Match, National Marrow Donor Program Registry' and 'Icla Da Silva Foundation' to raise awareness on Bone marrow cancer and help save lives around the world by enrolling people in the Free Bone Marrow drive programs
Free School for Tribals
Our Free School provides Free education to the impoverished children of Penusila in South India. Many children now have the opportunity to learn invaluable skills that will help them break the cycle of poverty in the long run. Today, 800 children attend three schools with 100% of the graduating seniors scoring among the top 5% in India.
But it is not just the children whose lives will improve because of the school. Karunaseva team closely monitor each project. They visit the school often, to encourage the children to go to college and then return to their villages to pay it forward by being of service to the people as lawyers, doctors, nurses, or engineers.
The annual estimated cost incurred in the maintenance of this Free school is about $32000
Free Hospital for Tribals
This Free Tribal hospital is in the remote and rural region of Penusila, A.P, India. This is a place where one in ten children will pass away before their fifth birthday. Where mothers commonly die during childbirth due to lack of proper sanitary conditions and emergency medical care. Many impoverished villagers have had to face the agonizing choice of paying for desperately needed medicines or buying food for their children. For many villagers here, the lack of affordable and accessible health care has led to despair and helplessness.
Believing that no one should have to suffer needlessly for lack of funds or available healthcare, we built a hospital that is dedicated to providing free health care to all who need it. Now, thanks to this free hospital, new hope has come into the hearts of the Penusila villagers. The hospital is funded entirely through donations.
As the hospital's reputation for free quality care has grown, more and more patients have been traveling from greater and greater distances, some walking many miles, just for the chance to see a doctor. Now that the hospital is established as an inpatient facility with twenty-four hour staff, it is our wish to establish a permanent endowment for the hospital. This endowment fund will provide the hospital with all necessary funds in perpetuity, thus bringing a permanent end to needless suffering in Penusila. Once the endowment fund has been established, husbands will no longer need to worry that their wives may die in childbirth, mothers will no longer grieve the loss of their children to preventable diseases, and children will not face the agony of growing up crippled from diseases like polio.
We would like to expand the services rendered at our hospital by providing Free Cancer Treatment, Free Heart surgeries and other highly-specialized treatments that are currently not available to these tribals.
It costs us about $52000 annually to maintain the hospital.

6/2
Hi Rahul:
It was indeed a pleasure speaking with you today as you informed me about
the Free Health Festival that is scheduled on Sunday, June 2,2013.
I am responding to your questions below..
1. In reference to a partnership pertaining to our NJCEED program, yes we
will be able to make this collaboration happen.The NJCEED Program, with
funding from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the
State, provides funding to all twenty-one (21) counties in the State for
comprehensive breast, cervical, prostate and colorectal cancer education,
outreach screening and case management services. Therefore we can conduct
information for all these screening services. We will talk more on Tuesday
as to how this will occur.
Mary Palacio, Recruitment/ Outreach Coordinator at the state level will be
the person who will come out.
2. In reference to connecting you with a hospital to assist with blood
tests ( like blood sugar, cholesterol, CBC), I am forwarding you a list of
the Medical Hospitals Middlesex County & Surrounding Area.
I hope this is helpful to you and I look forward to working with you on
this initiative.
Take Care and we will talk on Tuesday..
All My Best!!
