SHARE Project Moves to New Areas
From April 2007, SHARE CHD project started working among the villages in Seohara block of Bijnor District in Uttar Pradesh. They shifted from Chinyalisaur Block of Uttarkashi district of Uttarkhand where they were previously working. This shift was made, after a field survey in October 2006 revealed that Seohara Block, with a rural population of 156641 and 152 villages, was a very needy area with much poverty, low health awareness, and poor governance. No voluntary agency was working in this area. Through its activities, the SHARE aims to reduce child mortality, and ensure good health for all the children in the target villages; improve Maternal Health of targeted villages; initiate & sustain the development process through Panchayati Raj Institutions; and organize the people into self help groups for effective income generation programs, in Seohara Block.
