Nerur Samruddhi Pratishthan
Nerur is a village of about 6000 residents and neighbouring villages of additional 15,000 residents in rural Konkan area (district Sindhudurg) in India. Approximately 80% of the inhabitants live below the poverty line and hence cannot afford good education, healthcare, or shelter. Some of those born in that area were fortunate enough to move to urban Mumbai and get good education and make a decent living.
In 2005, some such senior citizens decided that they must do their part in improving the plight of those in Nerur and its environs, especially in education and healthcare. Thus, they started the Nerur Samruddhi Pratishthan, Mumbai, India. |
