Mission: Project RISHI (Rural India Social and Health Improvement) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to develop and transform rural India villages into progressive and modern communities. In order to achieve this overarching vision, our organization aims to start with a village in Southern India, Vadamanappakkam, a village located 100 miles from Chennai. We have successfully built a medical clinic to act as the main source of primary health care for the community. This clinic is manned and staffed by local healthcare professionals and is supported by our donors. Our current projects include water purification and conservation, mobile clinic, public restrooms, waste management, and malnutrition.
