Milaap enables you to lend to India's working poor so they can get access to education, clean water, safe lighting and more.
A small loan goes a long way. And comes back to you.
The PRICE OF HEALTHCARE in rural India is disconcerting. Nearly 93% of the poor who are hospitalized have to sell their assets, including the family's agricultural land - their primary income source.
Worldwide, 66% of the deaths in children can be avoided, by providing preventive and primary healthcare for acute respiratory infections, measles, malaria, and perinatal illnesses.
With our focus on preventive and primary healthcare services, including vision and maternal care, we aim to facilitate increased access to health services through awareness, links with healthcare providers, and financing mechanisms, such as loans and savings plans that can support or supplement health insurance programs.
Special consideration, interest free or low interest loans that are designed to meet unforeseen emergency needs due to sudden illness are often disbursed within days of receiving the request, even before the requirements are published
Assistance in paying for health and life insurance premiums of INR 20-50 a week for 25 to 30 weeks ensure that at least the bread earner of a family is insured and has access to critical healthcare, while also promoting the essential
Centers for training women health workers at each village cluster on basic first aid, and non-invasive diagnostic and pathological testing with critical links to a qualified doctor and laboratory technicians in the city improves the timeliness of healthcare and the use of scarce medical talent available to rural residents.
The use of creative distribution mechanisms such as local, women microentrepreneurs who sell affordable healthcare products, including non-prescription drugs and vision care equipment reduces avoidable delays in basic medical care.
Health education increases awareness and knowledge, translating to improved preventive measures in maternal and child care and in infectious disease, thus enhancing the quality of life, efficiency in combating poverty, and achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
Approximately 194,000,000 school days were gained in 2010 - Healthy children spend more time in school and help create an educated society. As domestic caretakers for the sick in many societies, women benefit the most from a healthy community, their own health is safeguarded and they gain time to pursue their education and work interests and contribute to a prosperous society.
