Dental Check-up Project
Gravittus Foundation came to understand that, the Dental Health issues of PMC School Children are severe. These PMC School Children belongs to lowest socio-economic strata of the society and are having no means to diagnose their Dental Health issues. Based upon the need assessment of these children, Gravittus Foundation decided to organize Dental Check-up Camps for these needy Children.
Gravittus Foundation in the year 2014-15 implemented this one year long project in association with PMC Shikshan Mandal and Jehangir Hospital. Team of expert doctors from Dental department of Jehangir Hospital came every day to each PMC school for the check-up.
“ Under this project, Gravittus Foundation completed Dental check-up of 72,823 children from 311 Pune Municipal Corporation schools. This is highly appreciated project, as no organization covered this huge number under one umbrella. Thus, we achieved our objective of organizing Dental Checkup Camp for all the PMC School students to orient each student about their Dental Health. ”

Relief Work during COVID 19
We all are aware with the current pandemic situation and how it’s affected the entire world. Through Gravittus Foundation, we took initiative to distribute essential grocery packets to the community women and importantly to the most neglected transgender. Also, distributed Oximeter to the frontline workers i.e. newspapers reporters who did outstanding work in Covid 19.
During this pandemic situation, when we came across the fact that, people were unable to see their loved ones for the last time, it was an extremely disturbing moment.
“ Our President, Mrs. Usha Kakade wanted to ensure that, people get to see their loved
ones. On this background, special body bags were made and we donated these body bags to Sasoon Hospital in Pune; so that, the face is visible to the loved ones. This little effort goes a
long way in preserving the last sight of those who left us because of Covid 19. ”
