Addressing malnutrition, maternal mortality, and neonatal care through community-based interventions.
Our health programs focus on the critical challenges of malnutrition, childhood stunting, maternal mortality, and neonatal mortality in tribal, rural, and urban poor areas of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
Through Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition in selected districts, we work with trained Arogya Sakhi (health workers) who deliver home-based neonatal care, nutrition counselling, and health awareness to the most underserved communities.
Our approach coordinates closely with Anganwadi Centers, PHCs, Rural and District Hospitals, ASHA workers, and MPW staff to address stunting through multi-sectoral maternal care, water, sanitation, and behavioural communication strategies.
