One of the most meaningful ways to fight poverty is to focus on Education.

Many children in poverty leave school without a basic education - if they're able to attend at all. Globally, 260 million children aren't even in school.

When children and youth fall behind, usually due to illness or family problems, the resources to catch up don't exist. Overcrowded classrooms and uneducated parents can make it nearly impossible for children to get the foundational knowledge they need to keep growing and thriving. This makes getting a stable job or planning for the future seem hopeless.

In times of emergency, when we need to take old people to hospitals, we have to wait for an ambulance. But with our ambulance services, we will be able to make the move faster. Since the very beginning of the NEST Trust, we have been supported by endless people across the county and beyond. That's why it's time to ask for your input to help us overcome these barriers to make sure we all as a team can help these needy people live better lives.

The NEST Trust is looking for your participation to make this world a better place where harmony and happiness reign!!

A recent study by the Department of Health reveals that one in four seniors fall each year. That's about 2.6 million falls, resulting in about 23,400 deaths a year. Of these falls, 20% result in serious injuries such as head injuries or broken bones. Hip fractures can be particularly disabling and dangerous for seniors – and more than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falls.

Falls can cause expensive injuries, and after a first fall, seniors are twice as likely to fall again.

The injuries themselves are not the only cause for concern. Seniors heal more slowly, and if their muscles atrophy while immobilized, a vicious cycle begins that can drastically reduce their agility.

Seniors also have a higher mortality rate associated with major surgery and have greater difficulty with anaesthesia. Lack of oxygen during surgery can worsen symptoms of Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia in the elderly; secondary infections are also more common – and more difficult to avoid.

There are several assistive devices that seniors can use depending on their level of mobility. Choosing the right device will depend on the patient's level of mobility and the layout of the patient's home. From maximum support to minimal assistance, aids such as crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, etc. can help provide stability and balance as patients walk, stand, and reach.

Women's empowerment and participation in the workforce are their fundamental rights that allow them to have control over their lives and continue to mark their influence in society. Women often face discrimination and gender inequality in general, but due to certain barriers, such as the level of educational attainment and social barriers, some women also experience multiple discrimination and exclusion.

Women in our society have different educational needs than men because they are burdened with housework and responsibility for offspring, and sometimes contribute as subsistence farmers or low-paid workers. Despite India's growing GDP at around 7%, the share of women in the labour force is declining, from 34% to 27%. In addition, the wage gap between women and men is also stagnant at 50% (HDR, 2018). Skills development thus becomes the key to improving their household capacity, independence and employability. Earning opportunities also improve their sustainable livelihoods and development in the long term.
