Diagnostic Center at the Quota Home for Abandoned and Destitute Women

History of the Quota Home
Founded as a shelter for battered women and their children in 1978, Quota International of New Delhi's Quota Home has expanded to house a home for elderly women, a job training and literacy program, and an elementary school in addition to the shelter. In 2004, the club added a medical clinic that held cancer screenings and eye clinics for the impoverished families in the surrounding community.

Expanding Medical Services
During 2007 through 2009, the club seeks to enhance the clinic's services, which are extended to children whose homes are unsanitary, drinking water unclean, and medical facilities inadequate. With Club-to-Club donations, New Delhi Quotarians will establish a diagnostic center that provides complete health care to the women and children in the Quota Home. This coverage includes anemia and worm infestation prevention, periodical medical checkups, and testing for hearing and speech impairment. The center will also educate Quota Home residents on cleanliness and preventative care.

Through the Club-to-Club program, the Quota Home's services have improved the lives of hundreds of residents; with continued support, the diagnostic center will meet with the same success. With donations, New Delhi Quotarians will purchase medicines, reagents, lab equipment, blood analyzers, microscopes, and other equipment, as well as help fund staff salaries for the new center.
