Phulwari programme by Jan Swasthya Sahayog
Many mothers have benefited immensely from a village-based crèche program called Phulwari, run by Oxfam India partner Jan Swasthya Sahyog (JSS) in Bilaspur district of Chattisgarh. As part of the program, village-based crèches are being run in 61 villages with the aim of improving the nutrition status of children under three years and also to support the
parents who work in the forests.
