Vimukti Pothnal Celebrated Easter with migrant families- “the great gift of Easter is HOPE”:
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”- Mahatma Gandhi Vimukti Pothnal organized the "joy of giving" activity in an Endeavour to make Easter celebration special and reached out to the 150 migrate families at pothnal on 8th of April 2023, Saturday. Easter festival makes us join with our brethren in doing little something extra for someone. It is joy, for giving and sharing, for laughter, for coming together with less privileged families and children. Easter is an important time for us to not only reflect on God’s love, but to share His love with those around us through our concrete actions. Vimukti always believes in saying “great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day,” with this motto vimukti celebrates Easter along with migrant poor families who have traveled from different states in search of jobs and staying in the temporary tents. On this occasion we distributed stationery items, like notebooks, pens, tooth brush, tooth paste, washing soaps, clothes for children etc., encouraging, and motivating parents to send their little children to continue their education. On this occasion children and parents were distributed a sumptuous meal and a health checkup was organized. Nearly 275 stakeholders benefited from this program.

Creating awareness about Health check-up through Health check-ups camps: Vimukti Pothnal
Vimukti Health for all programs ensure that everyone stays healthy. To do that, we organize health checkup camps in remote rural villages. So far hundreds of patients have benefited and the trend does not stop here. We have plans to go the extra mile with these health checkups soon. Our health staff nurse provides consultation and health awareness sessions on various topics. Women and children came to the health checkup with complaints of abdomen pain, cough, headache, fever, skin diseases, etc. the staff nurse advised the patients that such problems were seen due to not paying attention to personal hygiene, and not drinking sufficient water. further she guided the parents and children who came to the camp for check-ups to pay more attention to food and hygiene rather than medicine. Nearly 75 women and children received free health checkups and free medicines.

Vimukti support to Transforming the lives of special challenged children: Vimukti Pothnal
“Disabled children in Manvi Taluka miss out due to lack of support services…”
On 27th March, 2023, Vimukti organized a Counselling and training program to all the specially challenged families at Vimukti premises. Vimukti staff with the support of MRW and VRW members identified differently abled children in the entire Manvi taluka. 60% of children with disabilities do not attend schools for various reasons. Three- fourths of the children with disabilities at the age of five years and one-fourth between 5-19 years do not go to any educational institution. However, only 2% of Children with disability in Manvi Taluk from low- and middle-income families attend school. Children with disabilities have generally poorer health, lower education achievements, fewer economic opportunities, and higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities. This is largely due to the lack of services available to them and the many obstacles they face in their everyday lives. They even do not have medical certificates to ascertain disability, leaving them out of the radar of many government schemes. Keeping these thoughts in mind, lately Vimukti conducted a survey report provides the best available evidence regarding children with disability (physically handicapped, Blind, Deaf, Dumb, lame, leper, crippled etc.,) and what works to overcome barriers to health care, rehabilitation, education, employment, and support services, and to create the environments action for government to help these beneficiaries.

International Women’s Day- “Innovation and technology for gender equality -2022” Vimukti Pothnal
The Vimukti Charitable Trust® Celebrated the International Women’s Day on the 8th March 2023. The International Women’s Day, 2023 highlighted the Motto: “Innovation and technology for gender equality”. Mr. Charlie Vimukti coordinator gave a key address saying that ‘women live amidst the four walls called a house and a family. In this 21st century, today women need to grow socially, literally, and politically to make known the capacity of her to the inside and outside world. For a better tomorrow one must work today in instilling the seeds of the equality of gender’. Mrs. Jacintha vimukti staff, advised the women saying equality should begin firstly in our own homes by eliminating the inequality of the gender to build a better society. Women must be very keen on this issue and can be overcome by giving them the social and mental support and apt education will help the women to face tomorrow. Mrs. Eshyamma vimukti staff, in her inaugural speech motivated the women to stand firm in facing their problems. No doubt, the violence is increasing against women because she is considered a weakling. But remember that a woman should not forget that if she wills, she has the greatest strength to protect herself. Therefore, she must strive after giving the girl child education and equality in her own home first. This motivating factor helps her to become a better citizen tomorrow.
