ABOUT SNEHA

A secular, Mumbai-based non-profit organization, SNEHA believes that investing in women's health is essential to building

viable urban communities. SNEHA is 450+ person strong, innovative and progressive organization that works on health and

nutrition in urban slum pockets with women and their families. SNEHA follows the life-cycle approach to health and

nutrition, by intervening at critical junctures (adolescence, preconception, conception, pregnancy, postnatal, infancy and

toddlerhood, family planning) to ensure improved health and nutritional outcomes for women and children living in some

of Mumbai’s most vulnerable and deprived slums and in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as well. SNEHA

recognizes that, in order to improve urban health standards, our initiatives must target both care seekers and care

providers. We work with communities residing in informal settlements to empower women and communities to be

catalysts of change in their own right and collaborate with existing public health systems and health care providers to

create sustainable improvements in urban health.

We have currently 6 programs running across SNEHA which are Maternal and Child Health (MCH), Empowerment Health

and Sexuality of Adolescents (EHSAS), Prevention of Violence against Women and Children (PVWC), Public Systems

Partnership (PSP), SNEHA Shakti, Palliative Care and various domains/departments under Central Operations, Research &

Information Management.
