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 11 programs running across SNEHA which are Maternal and
Child Health (MCH), Public System partnerships (PSP), Empowerment, Health and Sexuality of
Adolescents (EHSAS), Prevention of Violence against Women and Children (PVWC) (e) SNEHA
Centre, SNEHA Shakti, Healthy Cities Project (HCP), Palliative Care, Livelihood Generation, Central
Operations, Research and IM.
