Our mission is to empower urban women and children through integrated health and nutrition programs, education, and advocacy.

The intervention focuses on married women of reproductive age (15–49 years), pregnant and lactating women, families needing family-planning counselling, and children under six years. Core thematic areas include: antenatal and postnatal care, new-born and infant care, immunization, nutrition and growth monitoring, breastfeeding support, counselling for early treatment-seeking The incumbent will conduct regular home visits with sevikas, organise community events and behaviour-change sessions, and lead awareness activities to strengthen health-seeking behaviour. The project also engages with local systems—Gram Panchayats, ICDS, and ASHAs—to enhance service uptake and improve the overall quality of care.

A strong capacity-building component runs through the intervention, equipping frontline workers and community structures with the knowledge and skills required to sustain improved health practices.
