Links Charitable Trust parters with NGO’s, clinics, and government Primary Health Centers to conduct monthly immunization and awareness campaigns on key health-related issues facing underprivileged communities such as dengue, deworming, hygiene, and family planning, to name a few. In addition to education, awareness, and prevention, these camps often result in the identification of critical medical issues of children in the community, which Links partners with doctors and hospitals to address.
