DISHA, DOSTI and DEEPA Flagship Project of SAMATVAM TRUST

Service to Man is Service to God

“No one will leave Jnana Sanjeevini uncared and unprovided, irrespective of their socioeconomic status.” This was the premise for the inception of Samatvam in 1987. Till today, with the philanthropy and magnanimity of few Good Samaritans [individuals and institutions], and the “Service with Devotion” of our volunteers, our institution has been able to keep up with this promise, in its own little way.

Through the charity Projects DISHA more than 3000 children with Type 1 diabetes, and DOSTI, more than 30,000 adults with type 2 diabetes, thus far, have been the beneficiaries of FREE medical care and counselling, medicines, diagnostic services, education – employment and other forms of social support etc. Besides the above FREE services, social engineering and cost cross subsidy, have helped us to reach out a much larger segment of our society at the bottom of the socioeconomic pyramid.

Project DISHA: A Lifeline for Type 1 Diabetes Children

The DISHA project is a cornerstone initiative of Samatvam Trust, dedicated to providing essential support to children suffering from Type 1 Diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes). This initiative focuses on delivering FREE lifesaving insulin, comprehensive medical care, and vital social support to poor and needy children within the community.

The primary goal of DISHA is to ensure the basic survival and optimum health of these unfortunate children, who are afflicted by a lifelong disease. Although Type 1 Diabetes is a severe condition, it can be effectively managed with proper medical and social support. Through DISHA, Samatvam Trust strives to offer hope and a better quality of life to these children, ensuring they receive the necessary resources to thrive despite their condition.

With a commitment to compassionate care and dedication to public service, DISHA continues to make a significant impact, transforming the lives of many young individuals and their families.
