Win-Win

The universe operates through dynamic exchange…
Giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe.
And in our willingness to give that which we seek,
We keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.
- Deepok Chopra

This section is about giving and receiving. This is a space where people struggling in life could get solace by meeting happy givers. Numerous charitable organizations in Chennai and beyond have funds and infrastructure to offer those in need. However, most often, information pertaining to such help does not reach the deserving. Win-Win will do its bit to bridge this gap by posting information on various types of resources available freely.

HIV Dialysis Facilities at Tanker Foundation

TANKER (Tamilnad Kidney Research) Foundation is a registered non-profit charitable trust founded by Dr.Georgi Abraham and like minded people in June 1993 with the main aim of providing subsidized dialysis and financial assistance for transplantation, medication and investigation costs to the underprivileged with kidney disease. TANKER Foundation also does awareness programmes on kidney disease and screening camps for early detection of kidney disease.

It completed 16 years of service on June 30th 2009, contributing to the field of healthcare, research, training and advocacy with the purpose of helping underprivileged patients with kidney ailments. It has given over 61648 dialysis in a decade at subsidized rates for 563 patients and disbursed Rs. 53.70 Lakhs to 858 patients as one-time contributions. It has also conducted over 134 Awareness Programmes on Kidney Disease. The Foundation has three Dialysis Units two in Chennai and one in Madurai where subsidized and free dialysis for 131 patients have been provided. Overall 1200 dialysis are done month.

The patients who come to its Dialysis Units are from low socio-economic backgrounds earning meager salaries. Some of them are auto rickshaw drivers, coolies, widows and students and others who have been rendered unemployed due to this illness. The Foundation’s belief is that every life is precious and important and therefore should set aside prejudices and endeavor to reach out to the marginalized.

It has been Dr.Georgi’s and the Foundation’s dream to reach out to people with HIV suffering from kidney failure. And now, the HIV unit is now ready for use. This will be the first of its kind in India. The inauguration of the unit was held on Saturday, November 28th at 10.00 a.m. at Madras Medical Mission, Mogappair. with Shri. Vayalar Ravi, Honorable Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs and Mrs.Kanimozhi, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha gracing the occasion.
