Since 1991 the Calcutta Project has worked together with its partner organisation in Calcutta (India) to develop programmes to improve the health of disadvantaged people.
With their voluntary commitment, students at the University of Basel put what they have learned in their studies into practice. On top of that, they develop important skills for their future professional lives – from leading fundraising meetings to project evaluation. The students, the partner organisation and the people in Calcutta profit from the technical support of the University and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute. At the same time, the students broaden their horizons through the international exchange with India.

Project updates from PHPA

PHPA’s important project, the distribution of health cards to CSW’s, has made efforts. The number of health cards distributed has risen to 90. Given the fact, that only 50 Health Cards could be distributed in the first year, this increase within a few months is a great success. One reason may be, that the holders of health cards receive 50 condoms for each visit, which is higher than the condoms given to non-health card holders. The immediate aim is to reach a total number of 150 distributed health cards by October.
