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
Empowerment, Health and Sexuality of Adolescent
Prevention of Violence against Women and Children
Public System Partnership
Palliative Care
Livelihood Generation
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
gender-based violence—key determinants of health equity for families and communities.
It is open to diverse backgrounds of not only employees but also thought processes and encourages females to contribute by providing equal opportunities for learning, growth and self-independence.
