About the Organization

Anahat For Change Foundation is a women-led, non-profit organization co-founded in 2018 with the vision of building a gender-just society. The organization works at the intersection of gender equality, menstrual health & hygiene (MHH), adolescent well-being, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability.
Anahat designs community-led and system-strengthening programmes addressing structural and social inequalities affecting women, adolescents, and marginalized communities. Its approach focuses on improving knowledge, shifting attitudes, and strengthening practices through education, access to services, and local capacity building.

The organization collaborates with schools, frontline workers, local governance institutions, and community collectives to ensure sustainable and scalable impact.
