Our Charity
The Kamala Banerjee Memorial Fund
Kolkata Homoeopathy Project
Allen College of Homoeopathy alongside Bengal Allen Medical Institute, work with the Kamala Banerjee Memorial Fund, which is a charity supporting the poorer people of Kolkata by providing free homoeopathic treatment in the slums of Kolkata, as well as free milk to orphans and children living the in the slums since 1986.
Approximately 250 people benefit every week, from the services run by the charity. A trained homoeopathic doctor regularly visits poorer areas of the city in our purpose-fitted mobile van, complete with homoeopathic medicines. This service has been operating since 1992, entirely supported by donations.
THE KOLKATA MOBILE CLINIC PROJECT
‘Bringing Homoeopathy to the Slum Dwellers of Kolkata’
Janet Banerjea and friends of the charity regularly raise funds to provide milk for the children as well as the free homoeopathic mobile clinic mentioned above.
Dr Subrata Kumar Banerjea is the Director of the Charity with his son, Dr. Saptarshi Banerjea and his brother, Joy Banerjea who manages the project on-site.
Our project coordinator, Janet Banerjea writes:
“We visited the site in South Kolkata where the van goes each Thursday. It was pouring with rain, but this was no deterrent to the bare footed slum dwellers who either queued for milk at the rear of the van or at the side for homoeopathic prescriptions. Patients with all kinds of problems came for treatment, and because it was the rainy season, acute diarrhoea, tonsillitis, and asthma were common. Many of the chronic conditions presenting were due to 'wet weather aggravates' so there were plenty of patients with rheumatic symptoms and on this day a fair proportion of women's ailments such as dysmenorrhea and vague abdominal pains.
There were many new patients and follow-ups which was encouraging. About forty patients were seen in this session and about thirty children given milk.”
Help Us Reach More Lives Across Kolkata
Donations are used to pay for the van maintenance, petrol, milk and staff payments. A local woman distributes the milk while a local female homoeopathic doctor travels with the van.
With your support we will be able to expand the project to more slum areas and remote villages across West Bengal where people have no access to medical treatment.
Your Donation Matters
Your contribution will get right to the heart of the project. Only essential expenses are taken from the donations.
