FUNDRAISING AND DONATIONS

Bodytree India was set up in 2004 and registered as a charity in May 2005 by a group of health, human rights and education workers to address issues surrounding access to health care and the disappearing traditional medical practices amongst isolated indigenous communities. Bodytree has established a successful educational programme that trains young people from different indigenous communities to become community health workers and operates programmes of health education for community groups.

Donating Equipment

At Bodytree we have been looking at ways to make our work more effective. We have realised that basic equipment would help us tremendously to achieve our potential in very simple ways. Any help that you may be able to give in the form of acquiring any of the following equipment or a donation towards them would be greatly appreciated.

Our centre is in a remote rainforest area and a second hand jeep would help us transport people coming for care and also goods. It would enable us to travel to different parts of the country to run workshops and teach techniques for treating people from different climatic zones. A film projector would enable us to show students and villagers health education work and demonstrations and to visualise examples of indigenous practices from around the world.
