Building a Lifeline of Dignity and Care
In the quiet town of Belthangady, Karnataka, Seon Ashram has long been a place of refuge for those with physical and mental challenges. With 331 residents under its wing, the ashram provides far more than shelter — it offers dignity, support, and holistic care. In February 2025, Allcargo Logistics deepened its support through three meaningful initiatives that address what matters most: food, medicine, and mental health.
Daily Nutrition, Delivered with Care
Good health begins with good food. Through the Food and Nutrition Project, Allcargo helps ensure that every resident receives regular meals. Thoughtfully planned and prepared, these meals help maintain energy levels, support immunity, and contribute to overall physical well-being.
Sustaining Lives through Medicine Support
In addition to nutrition, another critical aspect of care is access to regular medicines, since for a lot of people at the ashram, ongoing medical care is critical. The Medicine Support Project provides uninterrupted access to essential medication, be it for chronic conditions or general health needs, thereby supporting the management of long-term illnesses, mitigating complications, and ensuring timely intervention in case new health issues arise.
Mental Well-Being, Month After Month
Recognizing that well-being includes both body and mind, Allcargo extended support for the mental health initiative as well. To make professional care more accessible, a psychiatric camp was organized in partnership with Seon Ashram at Janardhana Swami Temple in Ujire, where over 75 individuals received consultations, therapy, and medication. Held monthly, these camps offer consistent mental health support, addressing an often-overlooked but vital aspect of community care.
A Partnership Rooted In Care
Each of these initiatives reflects Allcargo’s ongoing commitment to creating a kind and consistent impact. These initiatives are part of a larger, ongoing journey to build stronger support systems for those who need them most. At Allcargo, our goal is to continue nurturing meaningful partnerships rooted in empathy and care. We believe in standing alongside communities like Seon Ashram, ensuring that every individual is seen, supported, and given the chance to live a respectable life.
Health and ENT Camp: Strengthening Community Care
Community health goes beyond medical check-ups — it is rooted in presence, continuity, and compassion. On February 6, 2025, the SAAD Foundation, supported by Speedy Multimodes, an Allcargo Terminals company, brought accessible healthcare services directly to a community in Kurla, Mumbai.
The Health and ENT Camp was created to serve individuals with limited access to primary medical services, providing them with treatment and a path to long-term well-being.
Healthcare at their Doorstep
A total of 393 individuals visited the camp and received care that was both immediate and personal. Each of them walked away with clarity, relief, and renewed assurance that their health matters.
The initiative offered BP and BMI checks, free medicines, and nutrition counselling. Among the attendees, 197 individuals were supported with free medication for conditions such as malnutrition, anemia, diabetes, and hypertension, helping them better manage everyday health challenges. These efforts addressed visible symptoms and focused on underlying, chronic issues that often go unchecked.
Listening Closely: The ENT Wing
The ENT camp placed special emphasis on children and the elderly — two groups particularly vulnerable to untreated infections and discomfort. Common concerns such as ear infections, throat pain, and nasal congestion were promptly addressed.
For individuals requiring additional care, referrals were made to tertiary hospitals. This ensured that even complex cases received continued support — a crucial intervention considering that navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming, especially for those from marginalized communities. We do this to help ensure that financial constraints or lack of information don’t stand in the way of essential care.
Beyond the Day
What sets this initiative apart is its focus on continuity. Critical cases are being monitored for follow-ups, and a series of preventive health awareness sessions are planned in the months ahead. These sessions will offer residents practical tools to protect and maintain their health, empowering them to make informed choices in daily life.
Outreach initiatives like these are building blocks of healthcare equity. Our commitment lies in helping communities grow stronger with sustained effort. By bridging gaps in access and awareness, we aim to create a future where everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthier life, with dignity, and without barriers.
Empowering Young Women: The Journey to Confidence
Empowerment begins with access to the right knowledge, the right tools, and the right environment. In partnership with local NGOs, Allcargo Logistics, through its CSR initiative, has supported the SABLA program, which works to enable adolescent girls and women to confidently navigate life’s challenges by strengthening their mental health, digital literacy, and financial awareness.
In February 2025, the SABLA initiative reached over 950 individuals — 802 students through 23 school-based workshops and 152 women through eight community sessions. With Allcargo’s support, the program was able to deliver structured, meaningful interventions that left participants feeling more informed, capable, and connected.
Creating Space for Mental Health
Mental health was a central focus of the workshops. Many young girls face emotional strain without having the language or support to articulate their experiences. These sessions helped normalize conversations around anxiety, stress, and self-worth.
Beyond group discussions, a significant feature was personalized one-on-one counseling, made available during and after the workshops. These sessions provided a confidential space to unpack emotions, build coping strategies, and receive tailored guidance — something especially valuable in communities where access to mental health support remains limited.
Navigating the Digital World with Awareness
Technology is a gateway to information, connection, and opportunity, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Our sessions encouraged participants to critically engage with the digital world, highlighting how to safeguard privacy, identify misinformation, and cultivate healthy screen habits.
Importantly, participants were introduced to a variety of free and accessible apps and digital tools, including those that support learning, career exploration, health monitoring, and personal safety. This helped simplify technology and positioned it as a trusted ally, not a threat.
Financial Literacy – a Step towards Independence
In many households, financial decision-making can still be a male-dominated space. These sessions worked to change that narrative. From breaking down everyday banking processes to learning about government schemes, savings strategies, and microfinance options, the workshops aimed to make financial literacy approachable and actionable.
Several women reported that they had, for the first time, opened their own bank accounts or created basic budgets after the sessions — steps that reflect a deeper shift in mindset and agency.
In Their Own Words
The impact was felt as much as it was voiced. Participants shared that they felt more confident speaking about emotional well-being, are spending less unproductive time online, and are actively taking steps to manage their own finances. These may seem like small changes, but for many, they mark a new chapter in self-reliance and empowerment.
A Commitment To Change
At Allcargo Logistics, we believe that sustained engagement creates lasting change. Through programs like SABLA, we’re proud to play a role in delivering practical, long-term support to young women and girls. By combining expert facilitation with deep community engagement, these initiatives are building healthier, more confident futures.
