SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action)

SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action) is a secular, Mumbai based non-profit organization. It was founded in 1999 by Dr. Armida Fernandez and a group of leading Neonatologists, who together believed that to bring about a substantial change in the health status of the most vulnerable communities, it is necessary to adopt preventive strategies that encompass health and nutrition education.

SNEHA works across 4 large public health areas, seeking to improve the health and nutrition of women and children, living in the most vulnerable urban informal settlements:
(a) Maternal and Newborn Health
(b) Child Health and Nutrition
(c) Adolescent Health and Gender Equity
(d) Gender-based Violence against Women and Children
