Health & Wellness

The threat of malnutrition, constant dehydration and communicable disease, as well as of non-communicable diseases is high in the Thar Desert. Frequent droughts bring crop failure and inadequate sanitation to the already difficult lives of villagers. Coupled with a lack of healthcare, education and financial means surrounding health issues it makes those living the Thar particularly susceptible to disease and premature mortality.
