Testimonials
"I came across Project MOMENTUM Routine Immunization by USAID and JSI India in newspapers. When I approached the YRGCARE team working with this project in Jalgaon, they offered their immediate and complete support in organising a COVID-19 vaccination camp for our people. I thank them for their efforts."
“Our partnership with YRGCARE is critical in helping SeriousFun Children’s Network carry out its mission. Over our 10+ years of camp partnership, and as Camp Rainbow expands to benefit more children and their families, the team at YRGCARE consistently prioritizes the unique needs of every participant so they can have the greatest impact possible.”
