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 a 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, and 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
healthcare providers to create sustainable improvements in urban health. We have currently 11 programs running
across SNEHA which are Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH), Child Health and Nutrition (CHN) – Aahar,
Empowerment, Health, and Sexuality of Adolescents (EHSAS), Prevention of Violence against Women and Children
