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, weempower 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 anaemia, 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. Participation 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.
