Our Activities
Heartbeat of NationFood Distribution
Giving food to the hungry is one of the noblest acts. Regular meals are not only needed for good health but also a symbol of a fulfilling life. Barasat’s marginalized rural areas, many struggle to meet their basic nutritional needs. At Heartbeat of Nation, our mission is to provide regular food distribution programs that offer healthy, cooked meals. We also collect surplus food from hotels, restaurants, and events to share with those in need. The smiles and satisfaction of the recipients inspire and motivate us to continue our efforts in making a positive impact on their lives.
Cloths Distribution-2024
We have distributed new clothes for Puja among 100 distressed children in the slum area of Santoshpur in Barasat. We want everyone’s smile and everyone’s dream to spend their Puja with happiness.
Cloth Distribution-2023
After food, clothing is the second essential need that significantly impacts our lives by providing protection, dignity, and confidence. Understanding this, we aim to make a difference through our clothing distribution program. This initiative supports underprivileged individuals living on the streets, sidewalks, and in slum areas, including brick kilns, by providing them with new clothes. We collect new and gently used wearable clothing, sort them, and distribute them to those in need. Our goal is to fulfill this basic need and bring joy and happiness to these individuals.
Women’s Health and Disease Prevention
Women’s health is still neglected in marginalised areas. It is mainly due to a lack of awareness, education, and resources. This neglect can lead to long-term diseases related to the ovary, even cancer. Recognizing this, the Government of India is launching a vaccination program to prevent these kinds of diseases among women. Stepping forward, Heartbeat of Nation has joined this mission and made it a goal. We regularly conduct awareness programs in slum areas to emphasize the importance of menstrual hygiene among girls and women. We distribute sanitary napkins and educate them about intimate hygiene, teaching them how to manage their periods safely and with dignity. Our efforts aim to ensure that no girl or woman in rural communities is deprived of this essential health necessity, supporting their overall well-being.
Women’s Empowerment & Self-dependence
In today’s world, it is crucial for women to focus on becoming self-dependent, especially financially, as it is one of the most empowering ways to face life’s struggles. Heartbeat of Nation has initiated various training programs, including stitching, tailoring, and computer skills. Our trainees include both women and school girls because we believe in instilling the urge, the value, the necessity of earning their own money from an early age. Through these initiatives, our main goal is to create a society where women can hold their heads high, live with dignity, and shape their own futures.
Free Education
We believe that education is the most powerful weapon to overcome life’s obstacles. However, in the remote corners of Barasat, West Bengal, many children face economic struggles that deprive them of their basic right to education. Dedicated to making education accessible, our tuition center offers free coaching to students from underprivileged families lacking the means to learn. Currently, we serve over 50 students from classes 1 to 8 and have also included computer education in our program. Our mission is to ignite a passion for learning, empowering these children to shape their futures.
Tree Plantation
We are committed to protecting the environment through tree plantation programs, recognizing the vital role trees play in mitigating environmental issues. To address these challenges, we have initiated tree plantation drives, awareness programs encouraging active community participation. Alongside these efforts, we raise awareness about environmental protection, educating communities on the importance of trees and maintaining a clean, green environment. Our goal is to create a healthier, greener future for present and future generations through these sustainable practices.
Relief During Natural Disaster
We respond promptly whenever people are affected by natural calamities like floods, storms, or cyclones. We provide essential aid such as food, clothes, medicine, and drinking water based on the needs of the affected. In 2020, we extended our support to marginalized areas of Sundarban, helping those impacted by Cyclone Amphan. Our efforts aim to ensure timely relief and assistance, bringing much-needed supplies to communities in distress and helping them recover from the devastation.
Financial Aid to Cancer Patients
Our humanitarian initiative extends to individuals battling life-threatening diseases like cancer who lack the resources for quality treatment. Recognizing the high cost of cancer care, we provide financial assistance to support their treatment. By easing their financial burden, we aim to give them hope and access to the care they need. Through this effort, we stand by those in crisis, helping them fight their illness with dignity and strength.
Help to Handicapped Persons
Persons with disabilities are often ignored and neglected in our society, and their independent mobility is a concern we deeply care about. Heartbeat of Nation steps forward to support them by offering essential mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walking sticks. Through this initiative, we aim to improve their quality of life, helping them regain independence and dignity. We are committed to ensuring that they are not left behind and receive the support they deserve.
