The sujni project was started in the month of September 2010 as a means for assisting the many Rajput women who were living in poverty yet were prevented from working by soical custom. Women could earn money while practicing a craft that their fathers, husbands and in-laws would deem appropriate. Initially the project was greeted by scorn and scepticism from the villagers. Radha Bhai was one of the first women to join. Today the number has grown to 75, drawing women from 2 villages around Joharapuram. Now the women were able to earn Rs.120 per day as they are making 4Nos sujnies. The project is no more restricted to Rajput women. The possibility of earning money and working flexible hours has attracted women from other communities as well. A few voices echo the changes caused by Sujni work in the lives of women. This project is able to do with the kind support from GOONJ, New Delhi. The sponsoring agency is providing raw material, needles, threads, sarees, clothes and other material is providing to rural poor women for making sujnies and we are taking back these sujnies from women @Rs.30/- each and distributing these handmade sujni to the tribals, street children, orphans, destitute women under cloth for work program.

One of our objectives is to contribute towards minimizing human suffering in the fields of health, STIs / AIDS, domestic violence, through awareness programmes, treatment and referrals and counseling to facilitate generation of options for crisis resolution. We also deal with issues of human rights violations through advocacy and free legal aid. Our Goal is to fulfill our objective of contributing towards minimizing human suffering, especially where health is concerned. To achieve this, we Endeavour to pay more attention to health facilities for vulnerable population. We concentrate mainly on HIV/AIDS & STIs awareness programmes so that this epidemic can be controlled and the incidence of HIV infections is minimized.

One of the major problems being faced by the community. Therefore we have conducted the awareness campaign on HIV/AIDS among truckers and commercial sex workers on NH7 and NH18. The sensitization campaigns also conducted for women particularly pregnant, youth, school students in 20 different slums and villages of Kurnool, Kallur, Yemmiganur and Adoni Mandals of Kurnool Distrcit, Andhra Pradesh, India from June 2010 to October 2010.  This cruel disease has already been entered in our service area and creating panic and havoc among the different sections of people. Thus, we have conducted this resourceful program with medical experts on national highways as well as in different villages. The medical experts were explained about this cruel disease and personal hygiene deeply and what are those preventive methods to be adopted. About 250 truckers, 270 commercial sex workers, 250 women, 700 youth, 570 students were enlightened from this advocacy program. The truckers motivated to use condoms while in the sexual activities with unknown persons and educated on safe sex methods. They are motivated to have HIV test. There is no medicine for AIDS, but can be prevented. Thus every one should prevent & control the HIV/ AIDS.
