The Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation, through its fully-fledged health interventions, has been a beacon of hope in many communities. Our health projects range from the provision of first-line medical services to the most underserved or least served populations so that nobody is left behind in terms of health. Some of the remarkable achievements are free-of-cost medical examination, vaccination, and health education through mobile health clinics reaching out to underprivileged sections. These clinics have been lifesavers for many, particularly in regions where healthcare facilities are scarce.
For instance, our maternal health program has managed to reduce the mortality rates of both mothers and babies in many villages. The Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation has enhanced the people's ability to make informed choices regarding their health through prenatal and postnatal care and the numerous expectant mother workshops we hold. In turn, healthy, empowered communities have emerged, which are served to date.
Fundraising is a significant aspect of our work at the Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation. We have held many events over the years that have helped raise money but also marketing our cause. Our annual charity gala has always been looked forward to as it draws supporters from all walks of life. Last year, the gala raised a sum over $100,000 in money that directly went into our education and health programs.
Going forward, we have inspiring plans for fundraising events. That includes a marathon for health, an online virtual auction event, and even a benefit concert. All these are meant to engage our supporters better and to generate the necessary resources to expand our projects. Finally, the Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation thanks its donors for their continued participation in our mission.
Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation, with its ambassador program, strives to make people aware that the need for organ donation is urgent and lively. Organ donation saves lives, and in our foundation, we dedicate ourselves to making the public aware and moving them into donors. Our ambassadors are celebrities, community leaders, and healthcare professionals spreading this message.
The Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation, through its various workshops, seminars, and campaigns on social media, educates people about the lifesaving potential of organ donation. We share many live stories of recipients and donors, opening up the depth of this incredible act. We want to cultivate a culture where organ donation is widely accepted and supported to demystify the process and clear any common misconceptions.
Joint ventures and partnerships with other companies for Corporate Social Responsibility projects have been the stronghold of the Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation. We work with several corporations on projects lined up in tune with our mission. These kinds of partnerships will provide brilliant results in combining resources and expertise for a better effect.
For instance, with a pharmaceutical company as a partner, free medicine has been given to families that are low income. This project has ensured that drugs are administered to those who need them, thereby improving the community's general health. Another essential collaboration was with a technology firm that assisted us in providing a telemedicine platform for doctors and patients in remote areas so that consultation could be done from a distance.
Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation values CSR collaborations, and we are always open to every new collaboration that we can find to partner to make a difference in the lives of many.
The Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation effectively executes its vision of making better communities through a general concern for healthcare, education, and sustainable development. Our health initiatives are changing lives; our fundraising events bring in the support that is so much needed, while our organ donation awareness program and other CSR collaborations are impacting change. We welcome you to take hands with us in being part of positive change. Together with the Durdharsha Sea Lord Foundation, we will build a better future for all.
