OBJECTIVES

On a not-for-profit basis, the objectives of the LifeSpring Foundation are:

To sponsor poor women and children who cannot afford healthcare services and facilities rendered by healthcare service providers.
To allow women to access the provision of free, high quality and dignified delivery.
To utilize the funds and properties of the Society in the area of healthcare to elevate the lives of the economically backward, poor and deserving people at large
To improve affordability of and access to quality healthcare by developing reduced cost structures, new pricing models, novel delivery systems, and public health communications technology.
To undertake community outreach programmes by building partnerships or otherwise to target, educate, and influence adolescent girls and/or women

The primary activity of LifeSpring Foundation is to administer its “Sponsoring Births Programme,” by which donors can sponsor the deliveries of women too poor to afford high quality maternal healthcare. In the absence of such a fund to sponsor them, these women would either have a home delivery, deliver at an under-resourced public hospital, or deliver at a private hospital – often by selling their assets or by taking out high-interest loans to do so.

HOW IT WORKS

The process for “Sponsoring Births Programme” at LifeSpring Foundation:

1. Funds are raised through donors desirous of sponsoring the delivery of women too poor to afford high quality maternal health services.

2. Based on the amount of funds collected, community outreach workers go into urban slums and communities, and speak with pregnant women living below the poverty line and possessing a white card. If these women have delivered before, their deliveries would have happened at a government hospital or at home.

3. The community outreach worker explains the Sponsoring Births Programme, which sponsors the following services:

a.In-patient delivery charges (doctor charges, medicine charges, room rent, pediatrician charges, anesthetist charges and any other cost related to the cost of IP care for the woman)
b.Unlimited number of outpatient visits by the woman
c.One ultrasound for the woman.
d.Lab tests: HIV, HBSag & Haemoglobin test.

4. The woman begins antenatal care at participating hospitals, and all services described above are paid through donations to LifeSpring Foundation.

5. Donors receive a Receipt from LifeSpring Foundation for the donation given for sponsoring the births.

6. Donors get Income Tax exemption under section 80G for their donations made to LifeSpring Foundation.
