Give India Enlistment .

We were enlisted with Give India, a donation platform

where only 178 organizations out of approximately 37

lakh NGOs existing in India are enlisted after a thorough

screening of their credibility and transparency. The due

diligence process for us took around 14 months. The

donations for RHCF from the Give India platform range

from Rs 250 to Rs 2500. We request you to donate online

through the link:

register " I have

gone to many

Doctors but did not

get desired results.

But after coming to

RHCF and after

showing the doctors

at RHCF for 10 week

at very low cost, I

am much better

than before. "

Due to poor response,

we shifted our Burdwan centre to another

village in the same district called

Kusumgram. The centre at Kusumgram has

received a phenomenal response receiving 150

patients daily in the very 1st week of its

inauguration.
