ABOUT SNEHA
SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action) is a Mumbai-based non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health, nutrition, and safety of women and children living in vulnerable urban informal settlements. Our mission is to empower urban women and children through integrated health and nutrition programs, education, and advocacy.

We work through a dual approach—engaging both care seekers and care providers. At the community level, we empower women and families to become agents of change, while simultaneously collaborating with public health and safety systems to drive sustainable improvements in urban health outcomes.

SNEHA’s key programs include:
Maternal and Child Health
Empowerment, Health and Sexuality of Adolescent
Prevention of Violence against Women and Children
Public System Partnership
Palliative Care

Between 2016 and 2025, SNEHA directly reached over 620,555 women, children, and healthcare workers, and indirectly impacted a population of over 3.63 million across seven municipal corporations and three municipal councils in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Today, SNEHA is a 500+ member organization with deep grassroots presence and a strong track record of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, child malnutrition, adolescent anemia, and gender-based violence— key determinants of health equity for families and communities.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Our vision of the EHSAS Program is to enable the health and wellbeing of adolescents and youth, and transform them into healthy, gender-sensitive and responsible citizens. The program’s focus is on: 1. Health, 2. Gender equality, 3. Sexuality, 4. Prevention of violence against women and children, 5. Youth participation

In EHSAS we use a combination of four intervention strategies to achieve the objectives and they are as follows:

Group work includes group sessions, training in using theatre and other art forms to explore and understand sexuality, and building peer counselling skills.

Individual work includes mentorship, counselling, internships and peer support.

Family work includes individual and group awareness and counselling sessions.

Community interventions include awareness campaigns and building networks with local leaders, organisations, and other community bodies.

An important learning from our intervention has been that the program requires a long-term plan with creative strategies to sustain the interest of adolescents, and this helps to reduce the rate of attrition in the program. The information provided through participatory group education sessions if coupled with interesting activities, wherein adolescents get an opportunity to explore precarious and unanswered questions, leads to self and peer learning. We are introducing information, communication and technology in our program. We are in the process of developing website for adolescents, which is ancillary to SNEHA website. The program will engage the adolescents in workshops to create other web-based platforms. These web-based platforms will be managed by older adolescents in co-ordination with SNEHA staff.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
EHSAS implements a combination of school, health system, and community-based interventions through the SAFAR model (Sustainable Adolescent Friendly System to build Agency and Resilience) in Kandivali, Mumbra, Wadala, and Mankhurd–Govandi. Under the Kandivali SAFAR intervention, we are partnering with Girl Effect and are in the process of setting up the GULLY Lab. SNEHA’s GULLY intervention is an initiative to celebrate the energy and creativity of youth while accelerating field-based interventions through the use of technology. The initiative aim to understand the imaginations and perceptions of Kandivali communities around technology, while also building the capacities of all stakeholders through various mediums such as workshops, SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) sessions, mental health interventions, digital safety initiatives, and festivals.

Through this intervention, we will work towards building synergies between the past learnings of SNEHA and Girl Effect, while also integrating insights and learnings from our Youth Champions.
