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
Public System Partnership
Empowerment, Health and Sexuality of Adolescent
Prevention of Violence against Women and Children

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 violence prevention against women and children—key determinants of health equity for families and communities.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
The Public System Partnership Program partners with seven municipal corporations namely Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan Dombivali, Mira-Bhayander, Vasai Virar, Bhiwandi Nizampur and Ulhas Nagar covering Mumbai Metropolitan Region and peri urban and rural areas namely Ambernath-Badlapur, Kalyan, Bhiwandi and Palghar, and recently initiated the work in Nashik district. The main purpose is to impact
Maternal and Child health indicators in vulnerable population.

The Public System partnership program has extensively worked with the municipal corporations to initiate and sustain a formal emergency maternity referral system and strengthen the Antenatal Care provisions at Primary health Centres for mothers and newborns, focusing on improving the status of maternal and neonatal health services. Along with the system-strengthening component, community
mobilization and building community ownership was also given high priority. With the purpose of improving community participation, Community Health Committees were formed in the vulnerable locations and gradually converted them to Mahila Arogya Samitis, making them more formalized as part of National Health Mission. As a part of program sustainability, all the Mahila Arogya Samitis (MAS)
were handed over to the ASHA workers and their capacities were built to monitor the MAS processes.

The program has been working in Bhiwandi Nizampur Municipal Corporation (BNMC) since 2016-17 for strengthening maternal referral and primary care service delivery, focusing on ensuring quality Antenatal care services to the women at Urban Primary health Centres. Going ahead the program is planning to implement an in-depth ASHA mentoring project for all ASHAs of BNMC to improve the health outcomes
of the community and tackle on-ground challenges the system faces in service delivery.

ABOUT THE ASHA MENTORING PROJECT:
The objective is to mentor ASHAs to enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence to perform their roles efficiently, ensuring quality in community-based health interventions, ultimately contributing to a more responsive health system.

ASHA Group Mentoring Initiative will be designed and implemented for around 390 ASHAs across 20 UPHCs in BNMC with the objective of enhancing their knowledge, skills, and overall performance. This initiative will focus on providing continuous guidance, on-the-job support, and peer learning opportunities to strengthen their capacity in community outreach, health education, and other responsibilities their role encompasses. Regular group mentoring sessions will be conducted UPHC wise which will help identify challenges, recognize good practices, and foster motivation among ASHAs through peer learnings. Ultimately, the mentoring program aims to build a more confident, competent,
and proactive ASHA workforce committed to improving community health outcomes.
