Jamkhed CRHP Farmer's Clubs

(visit www.jamkhed.org for more information)

Young socially minded men from all castes are eager to improve their villages. These men are encouraged and facilitated by VHWs and mobile health team to organise themselves into Farmers' Clubs. Care is taken to see that the membership includes representation from different socioeconomic backgrounds, but the majority is drawn from the poorer sections.

They learn to work together to plan and carry out programmes which will benefit the community as a whole, especially the poor and marginalised, and not only themselves.

FC members play an important role in supporting the work of the Village Health Workers.
