Mission Education :

Mission Education is a national level programmed from Jharkhand Foundation which focuses on basic education for underprivileged children and youth.
Jharkhand Foundation believes that whether you are addressing healthcare, poverty, population control, unemployment or human rights, there's no better place to start than in the corridors of Education.
Because education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: means, because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one's awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behavior to understanding one's rights - and in the process evolve as a better citizen.

Mission Health :
“He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything” – A proverb
India has made rapid strides in the health sector since independence. However, various eye opening data from NFHS clearly indicate that access to healthcare still remains a challenge.
While the health statistics of rural India continue to be poor, the health status and access to health services of urban slum dwellers on the other has also surfaced to be equally deplorable. Despite accounting for 1/4th of the country’s poor population, urban areas have less than 4% of government primary health care facilities.
Urban slum dwellers suffer from adverse health conditions owing to mainly two reasons –first the lack of education and thus lack of awareness; and second the unwillingness to lose a day’s wage in order to reach the nearest medical facility.
The neglect in even the simplest preventive medical treatment usually leads to a more serious ailment and eventually into deaths. The need of the hour is thus a two pronged approach – first to bring quality health care services to doorsteps of the needy and second to promote healthcare awareness and contemporary health care services seeking behavior among the underprivileged.
In such a scenario a mobile medical services delivery system is the most practical mechanism. And in subscription to this view, Jharkhand Foundation will initiate the Health on Wheels programmed. This is a unique mobile hospital programmed that seeks to address problems of mobility, accessibility and availability of primary health care with a special focus on children and women, in urban slums and remote rural areas.

Mission Camp :
Even after decades of freedom, India is struggling to provide basic health services to its people. According to government sources, in India 45 children die every hour due to respiratory infections. 1 child dies every 2 minutes due to diarrhea. And annually, about 2 million children under 5 years of age die due to preventable diseases.
The situation calls for timely care and diagnosis which can reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality especially among children and women.
JF Health Camps is one such special initiative of Jharkhand Foundation to provide health care services to meet the immediate health care needs of the marginalized community in remote rural areas and slums through standalone camps. Jharkhand Foundation organizes customized health camps extensively across the Jharkhand offering comprehensive health services – curative, preventive, primitive and referral, to a large number of people in selected intervention areas.

Disaster Management :
Jharkhand Foundation, with a mission to lay a helping hand and brining Smile back, responds to the call of humanity in times of emergencies like natural calamities and disasters. JF thus has come up with a Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation Policy, wherein it ties up with local NGO's and institutions to enable genuine and effective responses to critical local needs and realities.
